There is mounting evidence throughout the world that democracy is in retreat. This can be stopped and repaired by infusing it with action, beliefs, and knowledge. This book offers a powerful prescription to stop the democracy deficit disorder: authentically engaging young people throughout our democracy. Through critical thinking and substantive actions, adults can become allies to young people. This will lead to authentic youth engagement, which will make democracy more meaningful, purposeful, and sustainable than ever before.

"This book uniquely suggests positioning young people as solutions to the democracy crisis. When I've asked progressives if they would prefer that the president and Congress be elected by 16-year-olds or by 66-year-olds, I'm surprised again and again at how hostile the liberal-left is toward youths. Easily half would rather see far-Right leadership than more teenagers voting. In 2022, opposition to lowering the voting age to 16-years-olds in a California city was led by a Democrat who argued that we didn't need more 'far left' voters. This book might convince more progressives that youth are not 'a problem,' and instead part of the solution. I'm happy to bestow my endorsement."Mike Males, PhDSenior Researcher, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice
