Discover how those who change the world do so with this thoughtful
and timely book Why do some changes occur, and others don't? What
are the factors that drive successful social and environmental
movements, while others falter? How Change Happens examines the
leadership approaches, campaign strategies, and ground-level
tactics employed in a range of modern social change campaigns. The
book explores successful movements that have achieved phenomenal
impact since the 1980s--tobacco control, gun rights expansion, LGBT
marriage equality, and acid rain elimination. It also examines
recent campaigns that seem to have fizzled, like Occupy Wall
Street, and those that continue to struggle, like gun violence
prevention and carbon emissions reduction. And it explores
implications for movements that are newly emerging, like Black
Lives Matter. By comparing successful social change campaigns to
the rest, How Change Happens reveals powerful lessons for
changemakers who seek to impact society and the planet for the
better in the 21st century. Author Leslie Crutchfield is a writer,
