Inhaltsangabe
From New York Times bestselling author of Lead From The Outside and political leader Stacey Abrams, a blueprint to end voter suppression, empower our citizens, and take back our country.
"With each page, she inspires and empowers us to create systems that reflect a world in which all voices are heard and all people believe and feel that they matter." —Kerry Washington
A recognized expert on fair voting and civic engagement, Abrams chronicles a chilling account of how the right to vote and the principle of democracy have been and continue to be under attack. Abrams would have been the first African American woman governor, but experienced these effects firsthand, despite running the most innovative race in modern politics as the Democratic nominee in Georgia. Abrams didn’t win, but she has not conceded. The book compellingly argues for the importance of robust voter protections, an elevation of identity politics, engagement in the census, and a return to moral international leadership.
Our Time Is Now draws on extensive research from national organizations and renowned scholars, as well as anecdotes from her life and others’ who have fought throughout our country’s history for the power to be heard. The stakes could not be higher. Here are concrete solutions and inspiration to stand up for who we are—now.
"This is a narrative that describes the urgency that compels me and millions more to push for a different American story than the one being told today. It's a story that is one part danger, one part action, and all true. It's a story about how and why we fight for our democracy and win." - Stacey Abrams

First edition. geb., Original-Schutzumschlag, 304 Seiten ehemaliger Ausgabepreis USD 27,99 // Includes bibliographical references and index // Voter suppression has plagued America since its inception, and so has the issue of identity-who is really American and what that means. When tied together, as they are in our modern politics, citizens are harmed in overt, subtle, and even personal ways. Stacey Abrams experienced the effects firsthand, running one of the most unconventional races in modern politics as the Democratic nominee for the governorship in Georgia and the first black woman major party nominee in American history. Abrams did not become governor, but she will not concede. And the reason she won't is because democracy failed voters. However, fixing suppression isn't enough unless we understand how it works and how identity plays a pivotal role. Suppression and identity altered the 2016 presidential election-and will do the same in 2020. But progress can win, and here Abrams lays out how. In Our Time Is Now, Abrams draws on extensive national research from her voter rights organization, Fair Fight Action, and her 2020 Census effort, Fair Count, as well as moving and personal anecdotes from her own life. Abrams weaves together the experiences of those who have fought for the vote and the right to be seen throughout our nation's history, linking them with how law and policy deny real political power. So much hangs in the balance for the 2020 election, and the stakes could not be higher. Our Time Is Now will galvanize those seeking change. It will be a critical book by the expert on fair voting and access that will show us where we fall short, who America is now, and most importantly, empower us to become the democracy we're meant to be (Verlagsinfo) //Introduction: Who Is Stealing America's Future? p. 1 Real Access to the Right to Vote Isn't a Guarantee-And That's a Problem Who We Are Matters: Identity Politics and the Census Defeating Populism and Winning Elections to Save Democracy Everything Old Is New Again p. 17 Deny and Delay: The Fight for Voting Rights Never Ended Suppression Starts with Who Belongs Here A Moment's Grace: Reconstruction to a False Redemption A Dim Light Grows: The Rise and Fall of the Voting Rights Act A License to Be Heard (Voter Registration) p. 42 No New Voices No Transparency Is the Point You're Outta Here: Excessive Voter Purges Getting Beyond the Gates (Access to the Ballot) p. 70 The False Seduction of Voter ID There's No Voting at a Closed Poll When Voting Isn't Easy, It Can Be Impossible When the Numbers Lie (Ballot Counting) p. 92 Signatures, Rejections, Curing, Oh My!: Absentee Ballots How a Safety Net Became a Trap: Provisional Ballots Broken Infrastructure: Malfunctioning Machines, Hours-Long Lines, and Other Barriers Taking Our Power Back p. 116 Staying in the Rigged Game How We Begin Fixing the System for Good We Can See You and So Should They p. 141 Class Warfare Begins More Than the Sum of Our Parts Why Who We Are Matters How the Census Shapes America p. 161 The Significance of the United States Census The Census Could Save Us Collateral Damage: Gerrymandering End the Electoral College The Playbook p. 190 Reject the Myth of the Magical Voter Putting Our Money and Information Where Our Votes Are Run as You Are Populism and the Death of Democracy p. 221 Taking Power from the People The Rise of Authoritarian Populism as Democracy's Enemy Getting Our Credibility Back The Next Best Version of America p. 242 Afterword p. 255 Author's Note p. 261 Notes p. 264 Acknowledgments p. 273 Index p. 277 About the Author p. 292 Table of Contents provided by Blackwell's Book Services and R.R.
