Saving Democracy author David Pepper will challenge and guide us on how to play a more active and effective role in lifting democracy than you might have imagined.

In his book, Pepper details how we all can and must play a role in saving democracy at this fraught time. He explains how all levels of the pro-democracy side, from national political leaders to grassroots activists to everyday Americans, must switch to offense. Pepper articulates how pro-democracy Americans can stay on offense and win on offense.

Join us to hear directly from author David Pepper.
