Synopsis "Big Little Politics: Going Local in a National Climate (in English)"
Do you know who your local candidates are in the upcoming election? Can you name who is on the City Council in your hometown? Chances are the answers to these questions are "no." According to New York Times, only about 27% of eligible voters will vote in municipal elections, indicating just how neglected local politics is, despite its relevance to our communities and everyday lives. Many people get so fired up by political affairs that barely affect them, while so many others have such a bad taste in their mouths that they tune it all out. Unfortunately, very few are actually engaged at the most localized level, where politics is less about partisan warfare and more about understanding communities. Big Little Politics strives to bring the local to the forefront and show that political activism can be easily accomplished and rewarding. This book exposes a different side of the political system that seldom gets the attention it deserves. Readers will understand that there's more to politics than what is discussed on the national news. Inside this book are insights not only from the author, but also fellow campaign volunteers, political candidates, and members of both political parties. You will learn about a mayor who uses his position of leadership to unite a politically divided city, a college student who managed a local campaign while also taking classes, a retired elementary school teacher who has spent the majority of her life volunteering within her community, and many more.Demircan hopes, through recounting the experiences he had and the lessons he learned, readers can get enough of a taste of that exposure to prompt them to think differently about politics, make up their own minds, and get involved. Fanatics will be excited by the interactive opportunities this book provides and pessimists will be refreshed by the fact that all hope is not lost in politics.
