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 CEOs 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.
