It Ain't Just about A Vote : Defining Democracy for Movement Building

Today democracy has come to mean simply free trade or perhaps a vote every 2 to 4 years. Chances are this definition isn’t help you in your organizing work. To build a real movement for social and economic justice we have to build a definition of democracy the same way we build good organizations: from the bottom up. This toolkit examines US history from a popular movement perspective, discusses lessons from past movements for democratic participation, provides tools for building democracy at the grassroots level, and shows us how to take the long view politics for movement building.Horowitz Garcia, Daniel is the author of 'It Ain't Just about A Vote : Defining Democracy for Movement Building', published 2004 under ISBN 9781932085099 and ISBN 1932085092.
