Book Description
Saul Alinsky was a radical Socialist and political activist; his conflict/response model for revolutionary activism has been used as a tactical compass for every left-leaning political action in America from Abbey Hoffman¿s Chicago trial to the perverse media attacks on Gov. Sarah Palin. President William Jefferson Clinton won two presidential races by cashing in on Alinsky¿s political capital in social activism. More recently, President Barrack Hussein Obama demonstrated in 2008 he understood this model even better than Alinsky¿s star pupil, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Incredibly, Alinsky¿s model can be applied to any political situation, even one in which the target for change is Alinsky¿s own Socialist America.If Americans really want to advance the notion of liberty, we could take a few pointers on strategic activism from the side of the battleground that is successfully shredding the Constitution, ignoring the Bill of Rights, and destroying the system of Capitalism that protects our liberty. Besides¿using Alinsky¿s rules to achieve the defeat of Socialism has a certain sweet irony to it. Where to hit, who to hit, and specifically how to hit below the Socialists belt¿¿How to leverage Alinsky¿s maniacal search for good activists and great strategies¿Using Alinsky¿s 'rules¿ to thwart Obama¿s conspiracy to destroy Capitalism through coercive taxation and inflation¿Making ACORN completely nuts with voter registration; an 800lb leviathan in 2010¿How your library card and home computer can be used to defeat the three stooges of Socialism; Obama, Pelosi and Reed.Finally, a plan emerges¿time to kick some Socialist butt.

Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A captivating memoir of change. A hope-filled sermon for change. A tactical blueprint for how we can each make change. Make Change is all three and all the more towards an equitable and just world." --Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be an Antiracist Activist and journalist Shaun King reflects on the events that made him one of the most prominent social justice leaders of our time and lays out a clear action plan for you to join the fight. As a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement, Shaun King has become one of the most recognizable and powerful voices on the front lines of civil rights in our time. His commitment to reforming the justice system and making America a more equitable place has brought challenges and triumphs, soaring victories and crushing defeats. Throughout his wide-ranging activism, King's commentary remains rooted in both exhaustive research and abundant passion. In Make Change, King offers an inspiring look at the moments that have shaped his life and considers the ways social movements can grow and evolve in this hyper-connected era. He shares stories from his efforts leading the Raise the Age campaign and his work fighting police brutality, while providing a roadmap for how to stay sane, safe, and motivated even in the worst of political climates. By turns infuriating, inspiring, and educational, Make Change will resonate with those who believe that America can--and must--do better.

Read and Riot
Author: Nadya Tolokonnikova
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1529393132
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
"as indispensable to confronting, say, your domineering mother-in-law or your local city council as it is to helping foment an ongoing and ever-escalating insurrection against, say, a sexist, racist, nepotistic power-mad oligarchy threatening to destroy democracy as we know it...My advice: Buy one" - VOGUE A guerrilla guide to radical protest and joyful political resistance from artist, activist and Pussy Riot founder Nadya Tolokonnikova. The face of modern protest is wearing a brightly colored ski mask. Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, is a creative activist, professional protestor, brazen feminist, shocking visual artist, and force to be reckoned with. Her spontaneous, explosive approach to political action has involved jumping over barbed wire, kissing police officers, giving guerilla performances in crowded subway cars, and going on a hunger strike to protest the abuse of prisoners. She's been horse-whipped by police in Sochi, temporarily blinded when officers threw green paint in her eyes, and monitored by the Russian government. But what made Nadya an activist icon overnight happened on February 21, 2012, when she was arrested for performing an anti-Putin protest song in a Moscow church. She was sent to a Russian prison for 18 months and emerged as an international symbol of radical resistance, as calls to "Free Pussy Riot" resounded around the world. With her emblematic ski mask, black lipstick, and unwavering bravery, Nadya has become an emissary of hope and optimism despite overwhelming and ugly political corruption. Read & Riot is structured around Nadya's ten rules for revolution (Be a pirate! Make your government shit its pants! Take back the joy!) and illustrated throughout with stunning examples from her extraordinary life and the philosophies of other revolutionary rebels throughout history. Rooted in action and going beyond the typical "call your senator" guidelines, Read & Riot gives us a refreshing model for civil disobedience, and encourages our right to question every status quo and make political action exciting--even joyful.

Hard Hitting Songs for Hard-Hit People
Author: Alan Lomax
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803244754
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Twenty-seven years in the making (1940–67), this tapestry of nearly two hundred American popular and protest songs was created by three giants of performance and musical research: Alan Lomax, indefatigable collector and preserver; Woody Guthrie, performer and prolific balladeer; and Pete Seeger, entertainer and educator who has introduced three generations of Americans to their musical heritage. In his afterword, Pete Seeger recounts the long history of collecting and publishing this anthology of Depression-era, union-hopeful, and New Deal melodies. With characteristic modesty, he tells us what’s missing and what’s wrong with the collection. But more important, he tells us what’s right and why it still matters, noting songs that have become famous the world over: “Union Maid,” “Which Side Are You On?,” “Worried Man Blues,” “Midnight Special,” and “Tom Joad.” “Now, at the turn of the century, the millennium, what’s the future of these songs?” he asks. “Music is one of the things that will save us. Future songwriters can learn from the honesty, the courage, the simplicity, and the frankness of these hard-hitting songs. And not just songwriters. We can all learn.” In addition to 123 photographs and 195 songs, this edition features an introductory note by Nora Guthrie, the daughter of Woody Guthrie and overseer of the Woody Guthrie Foundation.
