A whip-smart combo of self-help and political manifesto that is perfect for anyone who wants to save our democracy but doesnt know where to start. In todays political climate, its hard not to get discouraged. Isolated, doom scrolling, lacking a sense of purpose or community...its easy to become overwhelmed by the dire state of American democracy and do nothing, because why try when the odds are never in our favor? At this fragile moment in history, Emily Amick, lawyer and former counsel to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, alongside New York Times bestselling author and Betches Media cofounder Sami Sage, want to reframe civic engagement as a form of self-care: an assertion of ones values and self-respect. This book is not just about voting, but about claiming your singular place in your country and community.
