American politics feels broken-but the solution isn't in Washington.

It's right in our neighborhoods, schools, and city halls. It's All Local argues that the future of democracy depends on re-engaging t's All Localhey live, work, and raise their families.

Bryan Kennedy, Mayor of Glendale, Wisconsin and a national leader in the Democratic Party, draws on decades of experience as an educator, organizer, and elected official to show how local action builds power, restores trust, and strengthens communities. From winning small-town elections to creating networks of engaged neighbors, Kennedy demonstrates how grassroots organizing can save democracy and re-energize the political process.

Unlike books that focus only on national strategies, It's All Local offers a hands-on roadmap for activists, candidates, and everyday citizens who want to make a difference right now. It is both a wake-up call and a practical guide to rebuilding politics where it matters most-at home.

For anyone who feels disillusioned with politics but still believes in the promise of democracy, this book is a blueprint for action and hope.
