McAlevey, published in 2016. It is part analysis, part practical organizing manual, and it argues that durable social change comes from building real worker and community power rather than relying on professional advocacy, symbolic campaigns, or top-down mobilization. Drawing on labor disputes and movement organizing, McAlevey contrasts three approaches to change: advocacy, mobilizing, and organizing. Her central claim is that only organizing, understood as deep participation by ordinary people in strategy, power analysis, and collective action, can produce lasting victories. The book is aimed at labor organizers, union members, activists, and readers interested in political strategy. It is especially concerned with how movements can win at scale, how they identify organic leaders, and why majority participation matters in strikes and campaigns.
