Description: An intriguing and accessible nonfiction graphic novel about the role wealth and influence play in American democracy. Despite our immense political divisions Americans are nearly united in our belief that something is wrong with our government: It works for the wealthy and powerful but not for anyone else. Unrig exposes the twisted roots of our broken democracy and highlights the heroic efforts of those unrigging the system to return power to We the People. This stirring nonfiction graphic novel by democracy reform leader Daniel G. Newman and artist George O Connor takes readers behind the scenes - from the sweaty cubicles where senators dial corporate CE Os for dollars to lavish retreats where billionaires boost their favored candidates to the map rooms where lawmakers scheme to handpick their voters. Unrig also highlights surprising solutions that limit the influence of big money and redraw the lines of political power. If you're overwhelmed by negative news and despairing for the direction of our country Unrig is a tonic that will restore your faith and reveal the path forward to fix our broken democracy. This book is part of the World Citizen Comics series a bold line of civics - focused graphic novels that equip readers to be engaged citizens and informed voters.
