Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times: How to Reclaim Your Power, Fight for Freedom, and Reimagine Democracy
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
Skye Perryman, who heads the nonprofit Democracy Forward, contends that defending democracy is not a job for lawyers and politicians alone. Her 2026 book argues that ordinary citizens, whether seasoned or first-time activists, all have a part. Perryman pairs stories from her courtroom work with practical how-to guides for action in local communities, on issues from voting rights to public schools. In her view, change starts at kitchen tables and in neighborhoods.
