Karine Jean-Pierre

Karine Jean-Pierre is a former Obama White House staffer, MSNBC political analyst, and current chief public affairs officer for MoveOn.org. She is the naturalized daughter of Haitian immigrants and an openly gay woman of color. Her own political awakening came relatively late—while in graduate school—and her political education and path to activism followed an unusual learning curve. Jean-Pierre's inspiring memoir-cum-call-to-arms, "Moving Forward" (Hanover Square Press; November 5, 2019), offers an accessible and timely manifesto for progressive change.
