Democracy will not fix itself. It must be defended, rebuilt, and made real again. American Renewal is a manifesto, a roadmap, and a call to action for anyone who refuses to surrender to lawless power and creeping authoritarianism. Written with moral clarity and strategic insight, this book lays out a five-phase plan to resist collapse, restore democratic institutions, and rebuild a republic that works—for all From the dismantling of constitutional promises to the deliberate sabotage of government under Project 2025, this is not just an account of what’s gone wrong. It’s a blueprint for how we fight back—with urgency, discipline, and unity. Each phase—Defense, Resistance, Restoration, Renewal, and Reinstitution—builds toward one goal: not just to survive this moment, but to emerge from it stronger, fairer, and more enduring. Drawing from history, law, protest, and practical civic action, American Renewal calls on ordinary people to do extraordinary work—not someday, but now. It names what must be done. It shows how to do it. And it ends with one unshakable truth: if democracy is to rise, it must rise from us.
