How to Save Democracy is a collection of 423 instructive quotations derived from the First International Summit for Democracy. Divided into three sections-Virtues of Democracy, Challenges & Threats, and The Way Forward-the books brings hope, optimism, and poetry to the fight. As vital, How to Save Democracy outlines seven key principles of democratic success:
- Never take democracy for granted
- Democracy is the peoples' government
- Free and fair elections are the bedrock of democracy
- Equality, inclusion, and diversity are cornerstones of democracy
- Free, independent, ethical media is a lifeline of democracy
- Rule of law is the glue that holds democracies together
- Citizens, and nations, must unite to defend democracy
How to Save Democracy (Amplify Publishing, 2023) is a collaboration between Eli Merritt and RepresentUs, one of the nation's premier nonprofit organizations fighting corruption and strengthening democracy.
