Join Open Democracy Book Club on September 15 at 7pm Eastern as we welcome Dennis Michael Burke and his newest book Love and Democracy, to the Book Club for conversations and Q&A!

Political organizer, strategist and writer Dennis Michael Burke, who originated the first I Voted stickers now used nationally and has won important campaign finance and gerrymandering reforms via ballot issues, describes his remarkable road adventures with heroes of American democracy, most notably Doris "Granny D" Haddock, the 90-year-old New Hampshire woman who walked across the US to successfully advance McCain's campaign finance reform bill. The Gandhi-inspired efforts of Haddock and others helped teach Burke how to win against the political Far Right—lessons he shares in these stories.

Dennis has pursued remarkable stories from interesting people worldwide—from bank robbers to the president of the World Bank, and from the Congo to his own Arizona. He has been published multiple times by Random House, Little Brown, and other publishers. Burke’s first two historical fiction novels, Diary of the Tiger Woman, set in 1922 Los Angeles, and A Place for Our Rain, set in the Southwest of 1911, arise from the real stories of his family’s deep history in the American Southwest.
