Published June 23, 2025

Nader asserts that democracy requires participation from all citizens in order to collectively cultivate a better future for the nation. Outlining several different roles citizens must play, this book reminds readers of their civic duty. When the power is within the people, it is crucial for the people to be active participants in running their society. Detailing how private and public responsibilities are inherently intertwined, Civic Self-respect (Seven Stories Press) causes readers to rethink their hesitancy toward contributing to their communities.
