Dear Friends and Colleagues, I am writing to share my new book "People Power Change: Organizing for Democratic Renewal". It’s a practical guide on how to reclaim democratic power and how collective organizing is an essential driver of democracy. In this book I share ways we can respond to the urgent challenges of our times, by working together to develop the leadership, build the organization, and learn the practices of turning resources we have into the power we need to create a world with a just, sustainable, peaceful and flourishing future. Our goal is to get this book into the hands of as many people as possible who can “make good trouble”.  You can get a copy of the book here https://lnkd.in/essmPhUu and please share it with your networks. To join us in organizing a book event in your community, virtual or in person, please reach out to me.
