Details
Ruth Backstrom will speak about and sign her new book, "Igniting a Bold New Democracy: Empowering Citizens Through Game-Changing Reforms," on Wednesday, August 9th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore.
About the Book:
Are you tired of our broken politics and the deteriorating quality of life in America and aware that we need a dramatic shift for our democracy to survive? Are you aspiring to be part of the solution to create a responsive, inclusive 21st Century democracy? You are not alone....and there is a solution.
When her mother couldn't answer questions about the racial divide in her integrated Chicago community, Ruth Backstrom was determined to do something about that. Her passion was so strong that it led to her arrest at the age of thirteen in a civil rights protest, sending her on a lifetime quest to find answers and solutions for those nagging concerns from her youth.
"Igniting a Bold New Democracy" is an inspiring guide for creating a powerful pro-democracy movement using powerful approaches that American citizens have used in the past to create reforms. Backstrom shares how proven facilitation methods could draw on our collective wisdom to design a vision for the new modern democracy that we deserve and need.
