An organizing manifesto for the twenty-first century, this comprehensive guide is a must-have for the activist's toolkit.

An organizing manifesto for the twenty-first century, Playbook for Progressives is a must-have for the activist’s tool kit. This comprehensive guide articulates pragmatically what is required in the often mystifying and rarely explained on-the-ground practice of organizing. Here, Eric Mann distills lessons he learned from over forty years as an organizer, as well as from other organizers within the civil rights, labor, LGBT, economic justice, and environmental movements.

  • "Legendary activist Eric Mann has written an Art of War for organizers around the world. Buy ten copies and pass the ammunition." --Mike Davis
  • "There are students of organizing and there are organic organizers. In Eric Mann, we have both in super doses. Eric has the capacity to create the framework, as well as the outreach and communication skills, to bring together a concept and its natural constituents for action." --Jerry Tucker, former regional director, United Auto Workers Union
  • "I know of no other narrative in the union or community-organizing literature that analyzes with considerable insight the political life of a union local." --Sumner Rosen, professor of social work, Columbia University
