Immigrants across the United States tend to register and vote at low rates, thereby limiting the political power of many of their communities. In an attempt to boost electoral participation through mobilization, some nonprofits adopt multifaceted political strategies including registering new voters, holding candidate forums, and phone banking to increase immigrant voter turnout. Other nonprofits opt to barely participate at all in electoral politics, preferring to advance the immigrant community by providing exclusively social services.Brown interviewed dozens of nonprofit leaders and surveyed hundreds of organizations. To capture the breadth of the immigrant experience, Brown selected organizations operating in traditional centers of immigration as well as new gateways for immigrants across the South: Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and, North Carolina. The stories that emerge from his research include incredible successes in mobilizing immigrant communities, including organizations that registered sixty thousand new immigrant voters in New York. They also reveal efforts to suppress nonprofit voter mobilization in Florida and describe the organizational response to hate crimes directed at immigrants in Illinois. 606 $aImmigrants$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aImmigrants$xServices for$zUnited States 606 $aElections$zUnited States 606 $aNonprofit organizations$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aCommunity organization$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aImmigrants$xPolitical activity 615 0$aImmigrants$xServices for 615 0$aElections 615 0$aNonprofit organizations$xPolitical activity 615 0$aCommunity organization 676 $a324.9730086/912 700 $aBrown$b Heath A.$01164777 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815025303321 996 $aImmigrants and electoral politics$93947655 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03691nam 22007335 450 001 9910300435603321 005 20200703140447.0 010 $a3-319-17004-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-17004-6 035 $a(CKB)3710000000434147 035 $a(EBL)2094675 035 $a(OCoLC)911053995 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001525009 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11867442 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001525009 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11484960 035 $a(PQKB)11595325 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-17004-6 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2094675 035 $a(PPN)186395507 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000434147 100 $a20150613d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Mystery of the Seven Spheres $eHow Homo sapiens will Conquer Space /$fby Giovanni F.

The author offers a gripping account of the evolution of Homo Sapiens to the stage where our species is developing capabilities, in the form of new energy propulsion systems, that will enable us to conquer space. The reader will learn how we first expanded our activities to reach beyond our planet, to the Moon, and how nuclear energy, nuclear fusion, and matter?antimatter annihilation will enable us to extend our exploration. After Mars and Jupiter we shall finally reach the nearest stars, which we now know are surrounded by numerous planets, some of which are bound to be habitable. The book includes enticing descriptions of such newly discovered planets and also brings alive key historical characters in our story, such as Jules Verne and Werner von Braun. 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aHistory 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aExobiology 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aAstrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22057 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aExobiology. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aAstrobiology. 676 $a500.5 676 $a509 676 $a520 676 $a576.8 700 $aBignami$b Giovanni F$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0514717 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300435603321 996 $aThe Mystery of the Seven Spheres$92529468 997 $aUNINA
