Washington D.C.-- On Tuesday evening, Hillsdale in D.C held an AWC lecture featured Batya Ungar- Sargon, author of the new book Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women at the Heritage Foundation.

She shared her research from speaking with everyday working-class Americans all over the country, those who were fighting tooth and nail to survive. She talks about the interviews she conducted from people of all races, political orientations, and occupations and explained brief insights into their lives and the everyday struggles they face.
Ungar- Sargon discussed the strategies and policies that the working class thinks would bring improvement and was surprised to discover how non-polarizing this group of people was, although they voted for all different parties. She talked about finding out that the way the working class votes only reflects a portion of their political views and very little of their larger identities.
She encouraged the group that more unites of than divides us and that the leaders that take a vested interest in the working class will find the most success.
