Reclaiming We: Twenty Everyday Acts to Strengthen the Common Good and Defend Democracy

Our country is at a crossroads: One path, fixated on the me, inevitably benefits the powerful and well-connected. But the other path leads to we - a reinvigoration of community, mutual responsibility, faith in our democratic institutions, and limitless civic power. We can only set ourselves on the right path if we act daily on democracy's behalf. In RECLAIMING WE, Civic Nebraska outlines twenty straightforward steps any American can take to co-create a more vibrant, informed, civically healthy democracy. From highlighting the ripple of small acts to the power of mass social movements, RECLAIMING WE serves as an essential guide for engaged democratic citizens on the road ahead.
