This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I want to go back through it with a highlighter and sticky notes because it is so full of practical, non-partisan advice for how to construct a meaningful and participatory democracy.
Too many people think democracy starts and ends with on an election day, and Dave Meslin shows you how untrue that is. How that is a way of thinking that has been drilled into you by governments that passively and actively try to exclude you from decision-making. This book shows you how you can have a voice, not just a vote.
Reading this book filled me with so much hope. The world Dave Meslin envisions is a beautiful one, and he shows you how you can help it get there. I would consider this essential reading for anyone remoted interested in political participation.
