Reviews
Zach Norris, author Defund Fear: Safety Without Policing, Prisons, and Punishment:
The organizing work profiled in this book represents our best hope at defeating the rising tides of racial intolerance and corporate malfeasance. Filled with lessons learned from organizing in cities, towns, and suburbs across the United States, Organizing for Power and Empowerment offers a roadmap out of the isolation and marginalization so many individuals face toward collective racial, gender, and economic transformation.

Lee Staples, Boston University:
Mondros and Minieri break important new ground in this timely second edition, examining the evolution of progressive social-action organizing over the past twenty-five years. They broaden, deepen, and strengthen the original analysis with special focus on intersectional injustice, expanded corporate power, inequality, and a multiracial, feminist framework for organizing.
Hahrie Han, Johns Hopkins University:
This book is an urgently needed account of how people can act together through organizing to realize a shared vision of a more just world. The organizations profiled in this book teach us how to make real the most fundamental promises of democracy.
