When We Fight, We Win: Twenty-First-Century Social Movements

When We Fight, We Win: Twenty-First-Century Social Movements and the Activists That Are Transforming Our World

Same-sex marriage, #BlackLivesMatter, the DREAM Act, the Peopleâ€™s Climate March, End the New Jim Crow, Occupy Wall Street, the fight for a $15 minimum wageÂ—these are just a few of the remarkable movements that have blossomed in the past decade, a most fertile and productive era of activism. Now, in a visually rich and deeply inspiring book, the leaders and activists of these and other movements distill their wisdom, sharing lessons of what makesÂ—and what hindersÂ—transformative social change.

Longtime social activist Greg Jobin-Leeds joins forces with AgitArte, a collective of artists and organizers, to capture the stories, philosophy, tactics, and art of todayâ€™s leading social change movements. When We Fight, We Win! weaves together interviews with todayâ€™s most successful activists and artists from across the country and beyondÂ—including Patrisse Cullors-Brignac, Bill McKibben, Clayton Thomas-Muller, Karen Lewis, Favianna Rodriguez, Rea Carey, and Gaby Pacheco, among othersÂ—with narrative recountings of strategies and campaigns alongside full-color photos. It includes a foreword by Rinku Sen and an afterword by Antonia Darder.

When We Fight, We Win! will give a whole generation of readers the chance to celebrate and benefit from a remarkable decade of activismÂ—a decade that shows just how ripe these times are for social transformation.
