SUMMARY:Author Talk: Democracy’s Second Act with Richard Johnson and Perrin Lindelauf
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Courtenay Library for a timely and thought-provoking conversation about the future of democracy. Co-author Richard Johnson and editor Perrin Lindelauf will discuss Democracy’s Second Act: Why Politics Needs the Public\, a new book that explores why frustration and polarization are rising — and how greater public participation can help renew democratic life. Hopeful\, practical\, and deeply relevant\, this event invites readers\, thinkers\, and community members into an engaging discussion about civic life\, public voice\, and the possibilities of democracy beyond the ballot box.
