Unite and Conquer: How to Build Coalitions That Win--And Last (BK Currents) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Sinema, a social-worker-turned-politician, outlines steps for creating broad-based coalitions that go beyond identity politics and for transforming politics with a new style of action motivated by a genuine desire to do good. She proposes using values-based language to attract people to coalitions, points out common pitfalls to coalition building, and gives tools for keeping the coalition together. A "Coalition Builder's Toolkit" briefly reviews three important factors when running and winning campaigns in a coalition setting: research, truth, and discipline. Sinema is the House Democratic Caucus Assistant Leader in the Arizona state legislature. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Divide-and-conquer tactics stolen from conservatives do not work, especially in the long term, to further progressive causes. There is no logic or power in trying to use bad strategies to get to a good place. In Unite and Conquer, legislator Krysten Sinema shows how the future of the progressive movement is to be found in unity, alignment and partnership. Sinemas no-nonsense, concrete approach shows readers that we are all really more alike than different, and that we can get work together successfully for change when we let go of specific outcomes and focus on our shared values.
