Pathways to Change

The modern political system known as democracy is in crisis. The rise of the internet as an social organizing tool has challenged established modes of reform developed during the Cold War era. But new millennial activists need more than a virtual, digital platform to build lasting change. Weaving her own personal narrative within that of the larger global pursuit for bottom-up social transformation, Judy Rebick has the goods. In turns funny, epic, and triumphant, Transforming Power is an authentic call to action from an author who has been on the front lines of this critical struggle. A must read for anyone who is serious about real-time activism.
