{"product_id":"calling-all-radicals-isbn-9781568583679","title":"Calling All Radicals","description":"American democracy is seemingly in retreat. Voting rates are at an all time low, citizens are disillusioned, and inequality continues to soar. But there is also a belief that change is possible. Calling All Radicals argues that we can reclaim our democracy in the old fashioned way -- through grassroots organizing. Gabriel Thompson draws upon his own experience of working within local communities to demonstrate its immediate impact. Some examples: When a brother and sister were being evicted from their home of 73 years, the community responded by staging a protest in front of the landlord's home  --  gaining media attention and forcing the owner to allow them to stay. With children in Central Brooklyn suffering from lead poisoning, Thompson designed a campaign that trained inner-city high school students to test neighborhood homes and found that 1 in 3 were dangerous -- forcing NYC officials to act by pushing through citywide legislation that held landlords responsible for implementing more proactive steps to fix hazards. \u003ci\u003eCalling All Radicals\u003c\/i\u003e argues that everyone is capable of community organizing. It explains the key tactics of organizing, leadership development, conducting research, and working effectively with the media.","brand":"Bold Type Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895580684517,"sku":"NP9781568583679","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/87513db3-c3eb-4963-a798-ab03002721bc.jpg?v=1767844592","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/calling-all-radicals-isbn-9781568583679","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
