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. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States. $9 86021 650 0 $a Political participation $z United States. $9 84882 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2021- 700 1 $a Amick, Emily, $e author. 941 $a 4 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20240802020557.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240802014945.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240730010131.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240725010928.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3CF9D7048B811EF92258A7C5CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
