In \u003cem\u003ePeople, Power, Change\u003c\/em\u003e Ganz offers students, educators, and organizers access to the craft he has learned, adapted, and shared over the last half-century of creating effective collective action. It is not a blueprint, but a road map.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eGanz explores the values, ideas, and craft core to the practice of organizing and offers an actionable framework for how to actually do it. He focuses the book on the creation and substance of relationships, the fuel of values and narrative, the resources and power of strategy, the necessity of structure, and the accountability of action. Across these five organizing practices, Ganz weaves in his personal experiences from a lifetime of organizing in iconic social movements and campaigns to illustrate how collective action actually works and to build the practices and skills that must be developed to do it with intention and with success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“If there was ever a moment when this message needed to be heard, this is it!
