Synopsis

Most people see working to end global poverty and ensure a stable climate as a fool's errand. Add to that the Citizens United decision and the flood of money rushing into politics and the despair grows deeper. But activist and author Sam Daley-Harris has helped thousands of ordinary citizens transform from hopeless bystanders to powerful advocates.

This 20th anniversary edition has a new chapter on the groundbreaking

work of Citizens Climate Lobby, an increasingly powerful new advocacy group

following the RESULTS model, and another new chapter on the Center for

Citizen Empowerment and Transformation, a new initiative focused on spreading

the original concepts developed by RESULTS.
