About this item
Democracy in Retrograde
Democracy in Retrograde is a timely blend of self-help and political manifesto aimed at empowering individuals to reclaim their agency in American democracy amidst daunting challenges. Authored by Emily Amick, former counsel to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Sami Sage, New York Times bestselling author and cofounder of Betches Media, the book offers a refreshing perspective: civic engagement as a form of self-care and a means to assert personal values and self-respect.
In today’s climate of political disillusionment and social isolation, Democracy in Retrograde seeks to inspire action and meaningful participation. It reframes civic engagement beyond mere voting, encouraging readers to define their values, understand the political system, and discover how to effect change that resonates with their personalities, skills, and resources. Through real stories, exercises, and quizzes, the book serves as a practical guide to navigating civic life—from small, everyday actions to larger, sustained commitments.
The authors emphasize building a sustainable and authentic civic life tailored to individual circumstances, whether one has minutes to spare or is ready for lifelong dedication. By bridging the personal and political realms, Democracy in Retrograde empowers readers to see themselves as integral parts of their communities and country, capable of making impactful contributions despite systemic challenges.
With insights and guidance grounded in real-world experiences and actionable strategies, the book offers a beacon of hope and direction in uncertain times. As Joan Baez famously said, action counters despair—and Democracy in Retrograde equips readers with the tools and mindset needed to participate actively in shaping a more just and inclusive democracy, regardless of external obstacles. ❤️📚❤️
