How Civic Action Works: Fighting for Housing in Los Angeles by Paul Lichterman
Requirements: .PDF reader, 6 MB
Overview: The ways that social advocates organize to fight unaffordable housing and homelessness in Los Angeles, illuminated by a new conceptual framework for studying collective action
How Civic Action Works renews the tradition of inquiry into collective, social problem solving. Paul Lichterman follows grassroots activists, nonprofit organization staff, and community service volunteers in three coalitions and twelve organizations in Los Angeles as they campaign for affordable housing, develop new housing, or address homelessness. Lichterman shows that to understand social advocates build their campaigns, craft claims, and choose goals, we need to move beyond well-established thinking about what is strategic.
