HELPING THE GOOD DO BETTER pulls back the curtain on the corridors
of power in Washington to reveal how social change really happens.
This book offers lessons from the trenches on how some of this
generation's most defining social issues -- AIDS, disabilities,
global poverty, cancer, human trafficking, national service, early
childhood education, and social entrepreneurship -- engendered
landmark federal policies. Each chapter tells the story of how a
particular issue was shaped by the movements and legislation at the
center of public debate. Each case provides powerful lessons about
how coalitions are built, strategies crafted, and powerful
interests challenged in high-stakes, no-holds-barred political
battles. Doing good requires more than just providing programs and
services. It requires coordination, organization, and a new,
stronger emphasis on and dedication to advocacy. Participating in
advocacy is no longer a luxury-it is a necessity. Visionaries and
activists together with "white hat" lobbyists -- people who
understand the power of politics and who are able to put it to work
to serve the public interest -- have won some of the most
transformative policy fights in recent times. The culmination of
those experiences, of fighting and winning on behalf of public
interest causes, is presented here in a new theory for social
change. Successful campaigns and movements must possess a
lobbyist's combined approach to policy, politics, and press.
Leveraging the 3 P's, with true passion and discipline, can create
results that are nothing short of awe-inspiring. An insightful
first-person guide to advocacy by a white-hat lobbyist who was in
the rooms where historic social changes were made, HELPING THE GOOD
DO BETTER is a direct and honest look at government in action and
the behind-the-scenes players who help make progress a reality.
