'We need effective citizen-lobbyists - not just likers, followers
or even marchers - more than ever. I have no hesitation in lobbying
you to read this book.' Bill Emmott, former editor in chief, the
Economist Many democratic societies are experiencing a crisis of
faith. Citizens are making clear their frustration with their
supposedly representative governments, which instead seem driven by
the interests of big business, powerful individuals and wealthy
lobby groups. What can we do about it? How do we fix democracy and
get our voices heard? The answer, argues Alberto Alemanno, is to
become change-makers - citizen lobbyists. By using our skills and
talents and mobilizing others, we can bring about social and
political change. Whoever you are, you've got power, and this book
will show you how to unleash it. From successfully challenging
Facebook's use of private data to abolishing EU mobile phone
roaming charges, Alberto highlights the stories of those who have
lobbied for change, and shows how you can follow in their
footsteps, whether you want to influence immigration policy, put
pressure on big business or protect your local community.
