Livestream: How to Get Young People Involved in Activism
August 16, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeThis virtual book event is a fundraiser for Sister District PDX. Award-winning author Elizabeth Rusch will offer surprising insights from her new book for adults and young adults, You Call This Democracy?: How to Fix Our Government and Deliver Power to the People, which the New York Times called “fascinating” and Kirkus called “a riveting must-read.” In addition to explaining why we’ll continue to fail to address challenges we face in this country until we fix our democracy, Rusch will share insights on how to reach and rally young people.
Hardback, paperback, and e-book editions of You Call This Democracy? are available to purchase below.
The audiobook is available at our Kobo page, here: https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781980079903-you-call-this-democracy?bookstore=annieblooms
