KNYGA Jane Mcalevey No Shortcuts

In "No Shortcuts," author Jane McAlevey delivers a compelling critique of the current state of the progressive movement, published in 2018. With 280 pages of insightful analysis, McAlevey argues that a profound reevaluation of fundamental assumptions is necessary to revitalize the movement. She highlights how today's progressives often find themselves working within professional organizations that prioritize the political "inside game" in Washington D.C. and other capitals, where they struggle against well-funded corporate interests. Furthermore, McAlevey points out that labor unions have narrowed their focus, often neglecting the broader interests of their members, leading to a continued decline in membership. This book is essential for anyone invested in community organization, social movements, and the quest for genuine community power. Discover how to reclaim the progressive agenda and empower grassroots movements with McAlevey's thought-provoking insights.
