A clear, expert, and inspiring guide to social change, based on
case studies of grassroots movements that won, from two leading
community and labor experts “Our movements must seek and win
governing power to achieve our visions for a more just society.
This book is a vital resource for progressives who want to win.”
—Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), chair, Congressional
Progressive Caucus How do underdogs, facing far stronger opponents,
sometimes win? In the tradition of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for
Radicals and Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, Deepak
Bhargava and Stephanie Luce’s Practical
Radicals offers winning strategies, history, and theory for a
new generation of activists. Based on interviews with leading
organizers, this groundbreaking book describes seven strategies to
bring about transformative change. It incorporates stories of
organizations and movements that have won, including Make the Road
NY, the St. Paul Federation of Educators, the welfare rights
movement, the Working Families Party, New Georgia Project, Occupy
Wall Street, 350.org, the Fight for 15, and Gay Men’s Health
Crisis. Two overarching case studies anchor the book: the brilliant
techniques used by enslaved people and their allies to end slavery,
and the sinister but effective ways elites imposed our current
system. Practical Radicals offers insights on strategy used
by business, military, and political elites, addresses the
challenges of overcoming conflict within organizations and
movements, and concludes with a discussion of how our movements
must adapt to meet new challenges in the twenty-first century. A
book for activists, organizers, and anyone hoping to win the fight
for a better society, Practical Radicals is a deeply
informed resource designed to help us win on the big issues of our
time.
