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.
A provocative, strategic plan for a humane immigration system from
the nation's leading immigration scholars and activists During the
past decade, right-wing nativists have stoked popular hostility to
the nation's foreign-born population, forcing the immigrant rights
movement into a defensive posture. In the Trump years, preoccupied
with crisis upon crisis, advocates had few opportunities to
consider questions of long-term policy or future strategy. Now is
the time for a reset. Immigration Matters offers a new, actionable
vision for immigration policy. It brings together key movement
leaders and academics to share cutting-edge approaches to the
urgent issues facing the immigrant community, along with fresh
solutions to vexing questions of so-called "future flows" that have
bedeviled policy makers for decades. The book also explores the
contributions of immigrants to the nation's identity, its economy,
and progressive movements for social change. Immigration Matters
delves into a variety of topics including new ways to frame
immigration issues, fresh thinking on key aspects of policy,
challenges of integration, workers' rights, family reunification,
legalization, paths to citizenship, and humane enforcement. The
perfect handbook for immigration activists, scholars, policy
makers, and anyone who cares about one of the most contentious
issues of our age, Immigration Matters makes accessible an
immigration policy that both remediates the harm done to immigrant
workers and communities under Trump and advances a bold new vision
for the future.

The demand for novel drug delivery technologies is ever increasing
though majority of the drugs are administered via oral, inhalation,
transdermal and parenteral route. However, there are large numbers
of therapies, particularly protein-based, gene-based and
vaccine-based that cannot be delivered by this route for example
insulin, growth hormones and other similar biologics. This emerging
technique is a major sector in drug delivering system. It offers
numbers of benefits for instances, reduced needle phobia, better
patient compliance and reduce risk of needlestick injury. Moreover,
this work by forcing liquid medication at high speed through a tiny
orifice that is held against the skin. This creates an ultrafine
stream of high pressure fluid that penetrates the skin without the
use of a needle thus faster administration of drug compared to
conventional needles. Its low cost provides benefits to patients
and health professionals. Several technologies are available on the
market including Ferring's Zomajet 2 Vision, Merck Serono's Saizen
Cool.Click and Teva's Tev Tropin Tjet etc. There appear to be
tremendous opportunity for needle-free technology to have major
impact in the industr
In The World We Want, Peter Karoff presents a collective vision of
an ideal world. By sharing his experiences and through
conversations with more than forty social entrepreneurs, activists,
nonprofit leaders, and philanthropists who are changing notions of
'the human condition' in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin
America, and North America, he describes how new partnerships and
approaches are reducing suffering and gaining greater equity for
people everywhere. These visionaries are engaged in a struggle of
sorts, and that conscious engagement-'the shoulder to the wheel'-is
a fundamental part of the world they want. The book weaves together
multi-sector, multidiscipline strategies, but-in large part-it is
about the power of human connection, reinforced by personal stories
of motivation and the human capacity for caring. Without ignoring
the institutional and cultural obstacles, and the courage needed to
face down the dark side of human behavior, Karoff shows how citizen
engagement and open source solutions could tip the scale toward a
better world.
