A road map to help us find our way out of the darkness.\" —Mary L. Trump\n\nWe’re in this together.\n\nFor the past several years, Joyce Vance has signed off posts on her chart-topping Substack, \"Civil Discourse\", with these four words. In that time, she has guided readers through a continued erosion of democratic norms, the unprecedented felony conviction of an ex-president, and the constitutionally calamitous beginning to the second Trump administration. Here, Vance offers a blueprint for avoiding burnout and despair, and for strengthening our democratic muscle.\n\nGiving Up Is Unforgivable is a clarion call to action, putting our current crisis in historical context and sketching out a vision for where we go next. Vance’s message is hopeful at its heart, even as it acknowledges the daunting challenges that lie ahead. She is the constitutional law professor you never knew you needed, explaining the legal context and the political history— and why the rule of the law still matters. At the same time, she empowers the reader to do something, both as individuals and collectively.\n\nConsider this the birth of a countermovement to Project 2025, a rallying cry for citizen engagement to combat the second Trump administration and save American democracy.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DZ5XBVKY\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0DZ5XBVKY.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Vance, Joyce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
