Produktbeschreibung

The wildly undersold story (Lawrence Lessig) of the next American revolution, and the inspiring citizen activists fighting to save America's fragile democracy.

Our country is dominated by a political party that has no interest in governing, and that seeks to entrench its power by limiting democracygoing so far as to force people to the polls in the middle of a pandemic. Yet there is hope, as best-selling author David Daley argues in Unrigged, though it doesn't lie in Congress, gerrymandered statehouses, or even the courts. We must, instead, look to the grassroots. Introducing us to groups that have pioneered innovative organizing methodsoften combining old-school activism with new digital toolsDaley uncovers the story behind voting-rights victories nationwide and the new organizations reinventing our politics. The result is a vivid portrait of a new civic awakening, and an essential toolkit for reviving our democracy in the Trump era and beyond.
