Grassroots Rising is a passionate call to action for the global body politic, providing practical solutions for how to survive--and thrive--in catastrophic times. Author Ronnie Cummins aims to educate and inspire citizens worldwide to organize and become active participants in preventing ecological collapse. This book offers a blueprint for building and supercharging a grassroots Regeneration Movement based on consumer activism, farmer innovation, political change, and regenerative finance--embodied most recently by the proposed Green New Deal in the US. Cummins asserts that the solution lies right beneath our feet and at the end of our forks through the transformation of our broken food system. Using regenerative agriculture practices that restore our agricultural and grazing lands, we can sequester massive amounts of carbon in the soil. Coupled with an aggressive transition toward renewables, he argues that we have the power to not only mitigate and slow down climate change, but actually reverse global warming. In synergy with the Sunrise Movement and the growing support of a Green New Deal, Grassroots Rising will impact millions of conscious consumers, farmers, and the general public during the crucial 2020 election year and beyond. This book shows that a properly organized and executed Regeneration Revolution can indeed offer realistic climate solutions while also meeting our everyday needs. If you're wondering what you can do to help address the global climate crisis, joining the Regeneration Revolution might be the best first step. " Grassroots Rising] is a 'good news' instructional book for Regeneration, a practical, shovel-ready plan of action for the United States and the world to transition to climate stability, peace, justice, health, prosperity, cooperation, and participatory democracy." --Ronnie Cummins

We are living in unprecedented times of spiritual acceleration. In the midst of conflict and rising darkness, light is rising. The beauty of His church, His bride, is shining through. God is drawing His people together to seek His face. Casting every hindrance aside, corporate expressions of praise and worship are emerging over the face of the globe. Carrying the creative nature of God and the cultures in which they rise, these corporate expressions reflect a grassroots movement to "Prepare the Way!"

There are many forces of environmental and economic decline that endanger our communities and planet. These have caused a global threat which is very complex. The pressure to feed increasing numbers of people helps cause high rates of topsoil loss which results in decreased agricultural productivity. As poorer nations attempt to fight these problems, millions of their children die of preventable diseases. On the other hand, rising industrialization has caused acid rain and air pollution, leading to the death of lakes, forests and streams, and endangering human health. Individual efforts to combat these enormous threats appear miniscule but, when added together, their impact has the ability to revolutionize the earth. Grassroots groups, governments, and international agencies must learn to work together to show the world how to tap human energy to perform the acts for achieving and sustaining global economy. This publication contains an introduction and notes section, along with the following topics: (1) "Rising Grassroots Movements"; (2) "The Genesis of Local Action"; (3) "Meeting Human Needs"; (4) "Earning Our Daily Bread"; (5) "Protecting the Local Environment"; (6) "Reforming Development Assistance"; and (7) "From the Bottom and the Top."

"Grassroots social-change organizations are a critical resource for progressive movement-building in the United States. They provide political education and sites for constituent engagement, and they are beginning to create networks across issues and/or communities; they promote home-grown leadership among groups that have been disadvantaged; they contribute to a shared understanding of the problems of inequality and injustice; and they offer a public space for the dialogue needed to identify common principles."--From the Ground Up From community organizing for affordable housing in neglected neighborhoods to providing antiviolence training for youth or litigating for the rights of sex workers, grassroots organizations are engaged in energetic efforts to increase the power of marginalized groups. Social-change organizations operate in communities all over the United States, but little has been written about the details of their operations. From the Ground Up takes a close look at how social-change organizations address challenges related to leadership, staff development, decision-making, resource needs, and collaborations. Carol Chetkovich and Frances Kunreuther, both experienced nonprofit managers, draw on their in-depth interviews with leaders and staff members from sixteen diverse social-change organizations to provide a detailed analysis of these groups and their activities. They note that even working in isolation, these organizations make important contributions to justice in their communities; together they might form the base of a larger progressive movement for change.

If the citizens of the United States were satisfied with their government, there would be no need for this book. Americans would be building, incrementally, on efficiency in the workplace and satisfaction with leadership. That vision, however, remains a fantasy, farther away than ever as we complete the second decade of the 21st Century. A majority of Americans today (over 60 percent) believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. A greater number (over 80 percent), is of the mind that Congress is not doing its job. Why the disconnect between the governor and the governed? Where is a relatively young country, under 250 years-old, going wrong? Where is the vigor and enthusiasm of the pioneers? The "can-do" spirit of the founders? The optimistic entrepreneurs? The working-class plying its trade and always learning more at night school? The upwardly-mobile waves of immigrants? The United States has resigned itself to inhabiting a stagnant malaise when it comes to leadership. Why? Why have we allowed government to play by a set of rules unthinkable in the world of business or even non-profits. The rules that would make any company unresponsive to its own workers and unprofitable for its shareholders are not only tolerated when it comes to government, but often encouraged. That is bad enough. Worse, in an effort to placate our population, the country's leadership is always in a, "We are doing something," mode, which is often more dangerous than neglect. We must do something, our leaders reason, but they do so without understanding the source of the problem they are seeking to solve. The result? We provide solutions that, "put out the fire," that buy time but fail to provide the solutions that deal with roots. In some cases, we merely delay solutions. In many, we exacerbate the problems and make the cost of real resolution much higher and, sometimes, impossible. Confronting structural problems today may be wrenching, but the out-of-sight costs of not acting today may be catastrophic. Our resignation to accepting mediocrity in government is not inevitable. It is a question of our national willpower. Utilizing "Bottom-up," a proven management approach and its templates, rather than political ones, will turn what some consider "intractable" mediocrity into excellence. Faith in leadership should be a given, not a question of chance. The depressing statistics cited above should be inverse. The decline in faith in the institution of government is not inevitable. The "bottom-up" approach rallies key stakeholders around a set of shared values and goals. The shared values and goals help ensure that the majority are "moving in the same direction." This approach is longer, more painful and time-consuming than one mandated or legislated by politicians. However, the results are sustainable. They have real results for those with a stake in the solution. The, "We know better," approach of politicians, now a mainstay of American government, vanishes once and for all. Grassroots Metamorphosis offers citizens a path to play their role in recapturing the very essence of our country's creation: self-reliance, independent thinking, faith in the electoral system and sacrifice for the common-good. If these two questions are answered in the affirmative, there is hope: Are we ready to listen to "bottom-up" management? Once we've listened, are we committed to implementing? Therein, Grassroots Metamorphosis.

Punctuated by marches across the United States in the spring of 2006, immigrant rights has reemerged as a significant and highly visible political issue. Immigrant Rights in the Shadows of U.S. Citizenship brings prominent activists and scholars together to examine the emergence and significance of the contemporary immigrant rights movement. Contributors place the contemporary immigrant rights movement in historical and comparative contexts by looking at the ways immigrants and their allies have staked claims to rights in the past, and by examining movements based in different communities around the United States. Scholars explain the evolution of immigration policy, and analyze current conflicts around issues of immigrant rights; activists engaged in the current movement document the ways in which coalitions have been built among immigrants from different nations, and between immigrant and native born peoples. The essays examine the ways in which questions of immigrant rights engage broader issues of identity, including gender, race, and sexuality.

This is the first book that explains the Tea Party’s successful “primary” campaign against Republicans in Name Only (RINOs). Grassroots Tea Party activists adopted this strategy in 2009 shortly after the movement emerged. The first successful campaign occurred in upstate New York where the Tea Party defeated Dede Scozzafava, a RINO running for congress in a Republican primary that only elected Republicans to office during the previous 100 years. Armed with success, they defeated “conservative” Utah Senator Bob Bennett an eighteen-year veteran and then proceeded to defeat the popular Republican (RINO) governor of Florida Charlie Crist and elected the virtually unknown Tea Party candidate, Marco Rubio. This placed all Republicans on notice that if they do not follow conservative fiscal policies, they could be “primaried.” The Tea Party’s goal is to take control of the Republican Party and return it to its original, fiscal conservatism.

This offbeat true story is a comedy and a tragedy about politics, from anti-globalist protest to domestic turmoil. It's about idealism, obsession and failure in Seattle, a progressive city on the fringe of America's continent and consciousness. Grant Cogswell is a poet, a punk rock-fan, an anarchist, a grassroots activist, and one very temperamental character. He loves Seattle so much he has the city logo tattooed on his arm. In the summer of 2001 he decides to run for city council. He's so determined to win that he'll even wear a polar-bear suit to a city hall meeting. Phil Campbell, the author, is a burnt-out recently fired alt-weekly reporter, a manic depressive who sees few reasons to live. Inspired by his friend Grant's passion, and without anything better to do, he agrees to manage Grant's campaign. For eighteen weeks, Phil devotes himself to Grant's grassroots challenge -- all the while fending an overzealous roommate challenging him for his position as manager of their shared house. Overshadowing the story is the tale of U.S. Rep. Marion Anthony Zioncheck, a legendary boozer and forgotten lefty radical from the 1930s. As Grant's campaign unfolds, so does the story of Zioncheck's tragedy -- his rise and fall from an energetic young politico to a madman who is sent to the insane asylum. The question: Is Zioncheck's tale a lesson already learned, or a prophecy waiting to be repeated?
