Dan Rather agrees, saying âwe need fresh, intelligent, and creative voicesâlike Laurenâsânow as muchâperhaps moreâthan ever before.â Now, she explores the post-Trump political awakening and lays the groundwork for a re-democratizing moment as it might be built out of the untapped potential of young people. Duca investigates and explains the issues at the root of our ailing political system and reimagines what an equitable democracy would look like. It begins with young people getting involved. This includes people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever to be elected to Congress; David and Lauren Hogg, two survivors of the Parkland, Florida shooting who went on to become advocates for gun control; Amanda Litman, who founded the nonprofit organization Run for Something, to assist progressive young people in down ballot elections; and many more. Called âthe millennial feminist warrior queen of social mediaâ by Ariel Levy and âa national newsmakerâ by The New York Times, Duca combines extensive research and first-person reporting to track her generationâs shift from political alienation to political participation. Throughout, she also drays on her own story as a young woman catapulted to the front lines of the political conversation (all while figuring out how to deal with her Trump-supporting parents)." -Amazon.com. 541 $d 20230515. 650 $a Revolutionaries. 650 $a Political activists. 650 $a Journalists. 650 $a Young adults $z United States. 650 7 $a Political and social views. 941 $a 1 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230617010114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FB5DB2C0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
