Democracy's Urgent Call: A Poetry Anthology by LWV Members - Paperback
Description
by Christy L. Schwan (Created by), Eloisa Gomez (Created by), Niki Johnson (Artist)
In 2026, we celebrate our country's 250th birthday during a time of unthinkable threats to our Constitution and our Democracy. It's a time to remember, reflect, and recommit. A time to hope, dream and build, a time to show up, stand solid, and lead with strong voices that cannot be silenced.
As poets, authors, and members of the League of Women Voters, we recognize the power of language to connect people, to stir hearts and minds, and to reaffirm the enduring promise of Democracy. We aim to illuminate its beauty, its fragility, and its strength, at a time when we cannot afford to take its core principles for granted.
We express our love of country and Democracy by lifting our voices together. Inspired by artist Niki Johnson's series Pillars of Democracy, this national poetry anthology features poems by League members from across the country. A portion of proceeds goes to support Voting and Women's Rights.
