A lifetime of activist experience from a civil rights legend informs
this playbook for building and conducting nonviolent direct action
campaigns.
In an era of massive worldwide protests for racial
and economic justice, it is important to remember that marching is only
one way to take to the streets. Protest must be supplemented with the
sustained direct action campaigns that are crucial to winning major
reforms.
Beginning as a trainer in the civil rights movement
of the 1960s, George Lakey has spent decades helping direct action
tactics flourish and succeed on the front lines of social change. Now,
in this timely and down-to-earth guide, he passes the torch to a new
generation of activists. Lakey looks to successful campaigns across the
world to help us see what has worked, what hasn’t, and why: from
choosing the right target to designing a creative campaign; from
avoiding burnout within your group to building a movement of
movements to achieve real progressive victories.
Drawing on the experiences of a diverse set of ambitious change-makers, How We Win shows us the way to justice, peace, and a sustainable economy. This is what democracy looks like.
