About the Book

Paul Perry is an ideal candidate for the Democratic Party. He's a young Black man with an Ivy League education and a compelling life story who is running on a platform of affordable healthcare and better salaries for teachers. But he finds that it takes more than determination, hard work, and a political science degree to defeat his opponents-it takes deep pockets. His campaign comes to a screeching halt, not because of a scandal or a lack of community support, but because he couldn't raise enough funds. This is one of the many stories in Unrig. Using short histories, biographical sketches, and current events, journalist Daniel G. Newman and artist George O'Connor paint a complex picture of how wealth and influence are used to shape our democracy.

Review :
"Dramatic and inspiring tales of champions of democracy fighting for and implementing practical solutions. It's a great read--with important lessons for any citizen who gives a damn." --David Corn, Washington bureau chief, Mother Jones "By clearly illustrating the toughest problems that threaten our system of government, Unrig has the potential to be this generation's most influential book on American democracy. It is a must read." --Spencer Overton, author of Stealing Democracy: The New Politics of Voter Suppression "Everyone knows that our democracy is broken, but what's less clear is how we got into this mess and what we should do about it. Newman's Unrig explains both in an accessible and entertaining way, leaving the reader equipped and inspired to get involved in unrigging our democracy and putting it to work for people and the planet." --Annie Leonard, Executive Director, Greenpeace USA "Unrig is, simply, the unmissable book... This should be required reading (and luckily, it's engaging, powerful reading) for every student and every citizen." --Naomi Wolf, bestselling author of The Beauty Myth and The End of America "The point of the book is not to bog you down with details; it's to inspire you to action by teaching you about ranked choice voting, clean elections, and more. And if those are things you're interested in--or interested in sharing with others--I highly recommend it." --Boing Boing "A no-holds-barred look at the various ways wealthy interests influence and control multiple aspects of American governmental policies and institutions, Unrig is both timely and devastating to read when the country is facing a global pandemic as well as nationwide demonstrations for racial justice."--Booklist "Unrig makes a compelling case for why our participation matters, and who controls the levers of power when we don't engage." --San Francisco Chronicle "This cogent plea for democracy is fueled with an urgency that should initiate debate and inspire action." --Publishers Weekly
