Community Projects as Social Activism: From Direct Action to Direct Services
by Benjamin Shepard
With the correct guidance and a well-researched plan, it is possible to create lasting positive change in our local communities. This book draws on the auth‛s experience as a successful community organizer to inspire and direct readers to use community activism to achieve change. Focusing on a seven-step framework, Shepard links the theory of community organization with practical field based advice. He combines evidence-based best practices with real-world case studies to create this guide for community protest. Also included are interviews with influential organizers from movements such as the Black Panthers, Harm Reduction Coalition and AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power.
