Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Daniel Hunter pioneered a campaign to halt a politically-connected $650-million casino development project, teaching the city of Philadelphia of the power of direct action. His book about that campaign is a rare first-person narrative of direct action campaigning. It shows what a direct action campaign really looks and feels like, with abundant lessons about direct action strategy for other movements.

He's been a campaigner with groups ranging from Canadian postalworkers union, to Quaker-based groups fighting mountaintop removal, to Philadelphia campaigns for affordable housing. He is highly sought after as a trainer with Training for Change, focusing on long-term strategy development and training trainers in popular education.

His home is in West Philadelphia, PA, where he lives with his wife, dog, cat, and solar panels.

Not what I was expecting but a very interesting book nonetheless

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021

I won’t lie, when I first started reading this book I gave up after a few pages when I realized this was not a book about the the justice system per se but rather a “how to” guide for starting a nascent progressive group. I wasn’t planning to form a organization or join one, but I decided to go back and give this short book a fair shake. I’m glad I did. Author Daniel Hunter not only gives a solid blueprint for progressive action, he also recognizes and helps identifies potential pitfalls. But perhaps most impressively, his real life examples (From Gandhi making salt to Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat) as well as his personal suggestions, (such as his idea for challenging the school to prison pipeline by incorporating over crowded school to challenge the construction of new prisons) not only add color to the book and make it more interesting...they are honestly inspiring and have the reader wanting to do more.

From my POV this was clear and easy to follow, and had a lot of what seems to be useful, helpful info. Also a lot to think about. The section on myths that tend to be absorbed about successful protests (eg; that they're based around individuals/the speed with which they happen/the amount of unacknowledged work in building them) was especially good; the section in the last chapter about how it's often more useful and effective to shift the passive allies/neutrals/passive opponents to more involvement/understanding than to directly tackle active opponents was painfully apropos right now.

I really really enjoyed this- it's a really good

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017

I really really enjoyed this- it's a really good, very accessible basic primer on organizing for people who want to do more. The examples were all clear and accessible, and I would strongly recommend it to people who read <em>The New Jim Crow</em> and want to <em>do</em> something, or for others who have hit a point in their social justice education where they are beginning to feel helpless and need to begin to do something. Sometimes its overly simplistic, but I recognize that it's intentionally so in a lot of ways.

Such a great book, I need to buy the rest of The New Jim Crow books. This book is so clearly laid out and easy to read and internalize the message. The way this is laid out, it makes action seem feasible. It also makes me feel better that while I'm not a fired up rioter, what I do lean towards (organization) is just as valuable to the action of change.

I am so glad that I read this book

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2016

I am so glad that I read this book. In an age where we can feel helpless by so much of society's oppression, "Building a Movement to End the New Jim Crow" provides readers with tangible and actionable steps towards jumping into existing movements and campaigns for change, as well as how to begin said movements where they don't exist. I am currently doing a great deal of reflection upon finishing this book and have tasked myself with answering the "homework" questions contained therein so I can be of the most help in this vital and growing movement, and do my part to help enlist others, and help it grow further. I have read other books along these lines that leave readers feeling inspired, but lack "marching orders." Everyone who cares about mass incarceration, systemic racism, police and state brutality, and related issues should read and share this booklet.

Read this book to learn how much you DON'T know about racial inequality in the US. Seriously. READ THIS BOOK.

I have been involved in the civil rights movement for virtually all of my nearly 60 years, and this book opened my eyes to things I had never considered before. It a MUST read for anyone who cares about racial equality in the United States. An absolute MUST read.

Must read for anyone interested in real change!

Great guide for any organization seeking social change. I received a link to this guide from a friend. I have not yet read "The New Jim Crow," and have not (yet) become involved in the prison justice movement, but am trying to build an activist organization in another area. Even though the focus is on prisons, everything in it is applicable to any social change movement. This booklet has been helpful in showing how to be succesful at organizing and campaigning for change, and where it is easy to get off track. Explains so many things!

I've only read 25% of the book so far, but after reading The New Jim Crow, and wanting to get more involved in local change organizations, this is seeming quite helpful for understanding the process and structure. I have a degree in Social Work, but I don't remember any of my classes addressing the process of activism this clearly.
