A practical guidebook for ordinary people who want to create a new society now—by a community organizer and expert in transformative change.
With so many crises in the news, it’s easy to feel helpless about the fate of the world. But if we embrace hope and take action, we have the power to make a positive change. Personal actions can drive local movements that cascade into large-scale social transformation. In Changemakers, activist and community organizer Fay Weller his is the guidebook for ordinary people who want to create a new society now.
Weller explores the concept of transformative change, the difference it makes in the world, and how it is connected to learning. From creating a citizen-powered community bus service, to winning the right to local food, to women hand-sculpting their own houses, she shares powerful stories of everyday people who have challenged the status quo and transformed their lives, their communities, and society overall.
Changemakers also provides a workbook to guide people, wherever they are, through the process of catalyzing change.
