FROM THE PRAISE PAGE OF “HOW TO SAVE DEMOCRACY”

Celebrated champion of democracy Lani Guinier once wrote, "Democracy isn't something we inherit. It is not something we inhabit. It is not something we consume. It's something we actively build together." This excellent collection of quotations will inspire our essential work to build strong and resilient 21st century democracies where all people have a seat at the table.
