Reclaiming Our Democracy: Healing the Break Between People and Government, 20th Anniversary Edition - Softcover

Released as the book's 20th anniversary edition, Reclaiming Our Democracy: Healing the Break Between People and Government is the story of the organizations that Sam Daley Harris has founded or coached in more than 30 years.

According to Daley-Harris, the premise of this book is that citizens, working within a powerful structure of support, can make a real difference in creating the political will to solve national and global problems. The book is about enabling individuals to express their personal and political power.

While most people do not believe they have the ability to bring about significant change on the national and global scale, this book aims to lay to rest that mistaken belief. Readers will learn how the grassroots advocacy organization RESULTS empowered citizens to transform a government policy that helped save children's lives and promote microfinance around the world.

Readers will see how simple actions can have a major impact on the lives of individuals around the world. Hopefully, readers will view themselves in a new light, once they realize the true extent of their abilities.

This 20th anniversary edition has a new chapter on the groundbreaking

work of Citizens Climate Lobby, an increasingly powerful new advocacy group

following the RESULTS model, and another new chapter on the Center for

Citizen Empowerment and Transformation, a new initiative focused on spreading

the original concepts developed by RESULTS.
