"I wish I had Jim Shultz's The Democracy Owners' Manual when I
started organizing and lobbying nearly 40 years ago. Shultz adds a
distinctive voice to why citizens who take the initiative and
organize will thwart and best the powerful. He engages the reader
with language that is simple, wise, perceptive, and
profound."-David Cohen, codirector, Advocacy Institute "A concise,
thorough, and very practical book . . . Shultz equips his reader
with the tools they need to understand the challenges of governance
and economic growth and how to influence them
effectively."--Harvard Political Review The Democracy Owners'
Manual is a unique, hands-on guide for people who want to change
public policy at the local, state, or national level. A combination
of policy and advocacy basics, the book offers a clear presentation
of the issues and debates activists are likely to encounter as well
as a lucid, example-rich guide to effective strategies and actions.
Newcomers and veteran activists alike will find this book an
invaluable treasure chest of ideas and stimulating stories to help
them tackle the issues they care about. The Democracy Owners'
Manual also lends itself for university courses in political
science, public administration, social work, public health,
environmental studies, and other disciplines that touch on public
policy and political change. Jim Shultz is the executive director
of The Democracy Center. Formerly an assistant to the California
Legislature and a California lobbyist with Common Cause and
Consumers Union, Shultz has trained thousands of civic advocates in
the United States, Latin America, and Africa.
