\n“Changing Our World<\/i>\u00a0is a book that is long overdue.\u00a0 It is a guidebook, a practical manual that will help young advocates and potential advocates develop the knowledge and the skills that will help them gain the confidence that they can make a difference.\u00a0 Paul Fleisher’s work has “pulled it all together”; though focused on young activists, it is a helpful tool for people of any age or level of experience.\u00a0 I will happily recommend Changing Our World to my audiences and will add it as a critical contribution to my “tool chest ” as a way to help people live actively and more fully–from individuals and families to shcools and organizations.”
\n—Dorothy F. Cotton, former Education Director, Southern Christian Leadership Conference.<\/p>\n
