About the Author
In The Resistance and Me: An Insider’s Account of the Two-Year Mission to Stop the Trump Agenda and Take Back the House, author Barbara Weber-Floyd chronicles the rise of the anti-Trump movement in her congressional district. As a member of East End Action Network, an Indivisible grassroots group founded in 2017, as well as the Southampton Town Democratic Committee, she was on the front lines of this movement. She is also a reporter, with over 30 years experience as a print and broadcast journalist. Through memorializing her journey as well as interviews with over 100 sources, the result is a deeply researched case study of these two years in our nation’s history, as told by the women of the movement and seen through the lens of one congressional district. Since the engagement of the women of the Resistance, the backbone of the blue wave in 2018, was an integral part of Biden's winning coalition, this is a consequential story worth remembering.
Ms. Weber-Floyd is a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and her career has included: business reporter for local newspapers and national magazines; field producer at CBS News in New York; segment producer for the national PBS business program, Adam Smith’s Money World; outreach associate and website writer for the PBS documentary, The Mystery of Love; researcher/editor for many non-fiction authors, such as Dr. Robin Stern (Project Rebirth) and Michael Takiff (A Complicated Man), as well as several novelists.
She is also experienced in researching and writing business materials (such as company business plans and marketing/public relations documents) as well as proposals for grant applications for both small businesses and for non-profits. As an experienced Search Engine Optimization (SEO) writer, she has helped companies increase their online presence through the addition of SEO quality content on their websites.
