They Said It Couldn't Be Done.
Sixteen years ago, Viktor Orbán came to power in Hungary through a democratic election, then captured the courts, silenced the press, and had the constitution rewritten to keep himself in power-much like the current administration is doing today in America. But on April 13, 2026, the Hungarian people walked into voting booths and swept Orbán out of office in a historic landslide. Now it's America's turn.
We Are the Power arrives at the most consequential moment in a generation, with the November 2026 midterms just months away and democracy itself hanging in the balance. This is a battle-tested, step-by-step action guide written by Gary Lucks, an environmental lawyer, scientist, policy adviser, adjunct professor, and lifelong organizer who has campaigned in every election for over four decades.
Lucks founded the Progressive Action East Bay coalition and led his Indivisible group through the hardest years of political resistance. He knows, from experience, what actually moves the needle. He wrote this book because the moment is too urgent for anything less than a complete playbook.
You Have Been Waiting for Someone to Save Democracy. That Someone Is You.
Democrats need only 3 additional seats in the House and 4 in the Senate to reclaim the majority, restore committee subpoena power, reinstall inspectors general, and erect guardrails against the most dangerous elements of the Project 2025 agenda. We Are the Power is the map to achieve that goal.
What You'll Find Inside This is not a book you read once and put on a shelf. It is a field manual you return to every week between now and November 3rd - and beyond.
Part 1: Unity Is Power cuts through the paralysis of grief and anxiety, turning your energy into focused, effective action. You'll get a realistic, month-by-month timeline that shows exactly when to sprint and when to pace yourself.
Part 2: Strategy by Geographical Area takes the guesswork out of where to put your energy. Whether you live in a blue, purple or red district, Gary gives specific, tailored actions that match your geography. No one-size-fits-all advice. No wasted effort. Just clarity about what works where you are.
Part 3: Find Your Team is alone worth the price of the book. Gary has personally vetted over 80 grassroots organizations for credibility and effectiveness, then organized them both by issue and in an alphabetical directory - complete with QR codes that take you directly to each group's website. Whatever your passion, whatever your skills, there is a team waiting for you right now.
The Numbers Tell a Story - and It's One of Hope In 2024, approximately 90 million eligible Americans did not vote. The election was not lost to the opposition. It was lost to the couch. The majority of Americans do not want to live under authoritarian rule. We Are the Power equips you to find those voters and get them to the polls. It is proven methodology.
This Is Your Moment: History is not made by the people who watch from the sidelines. It is made by the people who show up. The midterms are months away. The organizations are ready. The strategies are proven. The playbook is in your hands. It's Time to Use It.
