Hate Won't Win

Find Your Power and Leave This Place Better Than You Found It

By: Mallory McMorrow

Narrated by: Mallory McMorrow

In this urgent expansion of her viral speech, Michigan Senator Mallory McMorrow details her unlikely journey into politics with a front-row seat to democracy at its breaking point—then outlines the tangible, proven steps that anyone can take to build community, fight for what's right, and create real, lasting change.

Mallory McMorrow was on the verge of giving up. She knew the work of legislating wouldn’t be easy, but she hadn’t been expecting an insidious culture of sexual harassment, armed protestors storming the state Capitol, or colleagues who had zero interest in reaching across the aisle to get anything meaningful done. Where could one even start? But then fate forced her hand. A Senate colleague called her out as a “groomer”—for standing up for LGBTQ+ kids and fighting against attempts to whitewash history in our schools.

In response, Mallory delivered a blistering rebuke with a speech from the Michigan Senate floor that reverberated throughout the country and the world, leading many long-jaded political pundits to hail Mallory’s action as a “blueprint” for fighting back. Here, Mallory pulls back the curtain on what it’s like to work in today’s politic arena, rife with conspiracy theories and division—yet emerges clear-eyed, offering actionable steps for building community and creating change.

Hate Won't Win is a step-by-step guide for anyone who’s fed up with the divisiveness in American politics, and anyone who wants to make a real difference but has no idea where to start—a blueprint for creating the communities and country we want to see.

Critic reviews

“State Senator Mallory McMorrow is one of the most exciting young political leaders in America who gives resounding voice to a new generation looking to bridge divides, bring people together and banish hate. Hate Won’t Win reminds us that democracy isn’t a spectator sport—we have to participate, we have to lead. This book is so valuable for anyone looking for an engaging playbook for getting involved and making a big difference.”—U.S. Senator Cory Booker

"In Hate Won't Win, Mallory lays out the truth—just as in business, there are no shortcuts to creating the America we can be proud of. It takes drive, perseverance, and shattering our preconceived notions about people "on the other side," to realize that the only way we succeed as a country is from the ground up, together. We each have a responsibility as Americans to participate fully, and Mallory's book is the definitive guide to show you how. The rest is up to you."
