No Shortcuts. Organizing for Power - McAlevey, Jane F.

$19.95

Progressives can win, McAlevey argues, but lack the organized power to enact significant change, to outlast their bosses in labor fights, and to hold elected leaders accountable. NO SHORTCUTS shows that what victorious movements have in common is the use of grassroots mass organizing rather than the top-down strategies such as advocacy that have recently gained favor.

Beyond the concrete examples in this book, McAlevey’s arguments have direct implications for anyone involved in organizing for social change. Much more than just a cogent analysis, NO SHORTCUTS explains exactly how progressives can go about rebuilding powerful movements at work, in communities, and at the ballot box.
