From New York Times bestselling author and political leader Stacey Abrams comes a blueprint to combat voter suppression, empower citizens, and reclaim our democracy. A recognized expert in fair voting and civic engagement, Abrams details the ongoing attacks on the right to vote and democratic principles.

Although she did not win, Abrams remains steadfast in her fight. The book emphasizes the necessity of strong voter protections, the importance of identity politics, active participation in the census, and a return to moral leadership on the global stage. Drawing on extensive research from national organizations and scholars, along with personal anecdotes from her life and others who have fought for the right to be heard, Abrams presents urgent solutions and inspiration. The stakes are high, and she calls for action to reshape the American narrative. This compelling account highlights the critical need for engagement in our democracy and the collective effort required to secure a better future.
