Shaw details how activists can best use the Internet and social media, and analyzes the strategic strengths and weaknesses of rising 21st century movements for immigrant rights, marriage equality, and against climate change. Shaw also highlights increased student activism towards fostering greater social justice in the 21st century. The Activist's Handbook: Winning Social Change in the 21st Century details the impact of specific strategies on campaigns across the country, from Occupy Wall Street to battles over sweatshops, the environment, AIDS policies, education reform, homelessness, and more: How should activists use new media tools to expose issues and mobilize grassroots support? When should activists form coalitions, and with whom? How are students-be they DREAMers seeking immigration reform or college activists battling ever-increasing tuition costs-winning major campaigns? Whether it's by inspiring "fear and loathing" in politicians, building diverse coalitions, using ballot initiatives, or harnessing the media, the courts, and the electoral process towards social change, Shaw-a longtime activist for urban issues-shows that with a plan, positive change can be achieved. In showing how people can win social change struggles against even overwhelming odds, The Activist's Handbook is an indispensable guide not only for activists, but for anyone interested in the future of progressive politics in America.--$c[Provided by publisher] 606 $aSocial action$zUnited States 606 $aCommunity organization$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical activists$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States 606 $aSocial reformers$zUnited States 615 0$aSocial action 615 0$aCommunity organization 615 0$aPolitical activists 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aSocial reformers 676 $a303.480973 700 $aShaw$b Randy$f1956-$01704773 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815472303321 996 $aThe activist's handbook$94090992 997 $aUNINA
