Jim Swearingen of The National Book Review said, "Democracy Now! presents the voices of people prevented from earning livable wages, fired for organizing for labor rights, incarcerated unjustly, bombed illegally, discriminated against, foreclosed on, spied upon, disenfranchised and deported. They call us to the better angels of our democracy." Simon & Schuster comes out with the timely paperback Reprint edition on April 25, 2017.
