"There's a big difference between knowing what is best of your city's transportation system, and knowing how to fight the often fierce political battles you need to win in order to make it real. Fortunately, one author has written a manual to help transit advocates across America do exactly that, from picking campaigns out of the tangle of interlocking transportation challenges that ensnare our cities, to winning over the skeptical - and everything in between."
"I've been involved with over 100 campaigns, from statewide, billion-dollar budget fights to super-local efforts trying to get a bike rack installed in a certain spot. I wrote "If You Want to Win, You've Got to Fight" so people can more easily win the changes they want for their community, whether they're experienced advocates who've been doing this for a while and are just very frustrated at the pace of change."
A national trainer supports bike, transit, and street safety advocates across the United States and leads a transit advocacy group in the San Francisco Bay Area. The trainer has engaged in over 100 campaigns ranging from statewide, billion-dollar budget fights to hyper-local projects like installing bike racks. Practical guidance helps make political change more accessible by offering steps for experienced advocates frustrated by slow progress and newcomers intimidated by political processes. Lessons from dozens of successful campaigns are synthesized into approachable, actionable strategies for selecting campaigns, building coalitions, and winning political battles.
