12 WAYS TO SAVE DEMOCRACY IN WISCONSIN, written by one of the leading progressive voices in Wisconsin, spells out the crucial reforms we need to have a fully functioning democracy.

Written in clear prose with a personal touch, this urgent book describes how Wisconsin’s reputation as a laboratory for democracy has been tarnished – and what we need to do to restore it.
