my new book "Unrig" - a graphic novel
Daniel G. Newman
Open government colleagues,
I’m excited to let you know about the release of my new book, Unrig: How to Fix Our Broken Democracy, from Macmillan publishing. It promotes themes of open government and transparency throughout--in 250 pages of comics!
"No-holds-barred...Unrig is both timely and devastating to read when the country is facing a global pandemic as well as nationwide demonstrations for racial justice." - Booklist
“The struggle for reform must be waged in every language — including the most fun! This brilliant book explains the need and urgency for reform powerfully and with great insight.” - Lawrence Lessig
Best wishes,
Dan

Despite our immense political divisions, Americans are nearly united in our belief that something is wrong with our government: It works for the wealthy and powerful, but not for anyone else. Unrig exposes the twisted roots of our broken democracy and highlights the heroic efforts of those unrigging the system to return power to We the People.
This stirring nonfiction graphic novel by democracy reform leader Daniel G. Newman and artist George O’Connor takes readers behind the scenes—from the sweaty cubicles where senators dial corporate CEOs for dollars, to lavish retreats where billionaires boost their favored candidates, to the map rooms where lawmakers scheme to handpick their voters. Unrig also highlights surprising solutions that limit the influence of big money and redraw the lines of political power.
If you're overwhelmed by negative news and despairing for the direction of our country, Unrig is a tonic that will restore your faith and reveal the path forward to fix our broken democracy.
