Book News Annotation:
This manual is for grassroots activists seeking social, political,
environmental and economic change at all levels of organization<---
>local, state and national. The handbook has been used by Midwest
Academy since 1973 in its organizing and activism seminars. Central
to the Academy and the manual are three guiding principles: that for
people to organize and seek change effectively they must win real
improvements in peoples' lives, get a sense of their own power, and
alter the relations of power. The main topics presented in the
handbook are direct action organizing, organizing skills, and sources
of support for organizing. The new edition was inspired by the
transition into a new millennium, which prompted a new awareness of
the need to bring activists from diverse movements into a unified
whole.
