Dear Friends,
We wanted to share some exciting news with you. On March 3rd a critically important book will be released called "Democracy Unchained: How to Rebuild Government for the People". The book features a chapter on “the States” by UpRising's founder, Nick Rathod, alongside other prominent American thought leaders, political scientists, professors, advocates, and others, including: Michael Eric Dyson, Bill McKibben, Rashad Robinson, Maria Hinojosa, Tuchman Mathews, Stephen Heintz, Bakari Kitwana and many others. The book provides a roadmap for rebuilding our fragile Democracy at every level in the age of Trump.
“This remarkable book is like speed dialing the smartest minds in America, and getting them to tackle the country’s toughest problems. It’s full of fresh and urgently needed ideas.”
—Jane Mayer, chief Washington correspondent, The New Yorker
“This collection of essays by preeminent Americans from a wide array of backgrounds and professions, may someday be recognized as the 21st Century equivalent of the Federalist Papers. Certainly the times are no less perilous than when Hamilton, Madison and Jay set their pens to paper.”
-Richard Louv, author Our Wild Calling and The Nature Principle
“This courageous book is a timely treatment of our crisis of democracy! The variety of powerful voices and cogency of analytical viewpoints are badly needed in these grim neo-fascist times!”
—Cornel West, Harvard University
“We all know the story of Ben Franklin announcing outside Independence Hall in 1787 that our new country had, ‘A republic, if you can keep it.’ This collection gives us a wealth of ideas for how, exactly, we can keep it over the next century and beyond, and is a template for progressive action at a time when our country needs it most.”
- Sherrod Brown, U.S. Senate
The book will go on sale on March 3rd but you can purchase an advance copy on Amazon, today! Also, Nick along with some other authors will be speaking around the country at book events--you can learn more about events in your community and how to attend here.
