Add to that the Citizens United decision and the flood of money rushing into politics and the despair grows deeper. But activist and author Sam Daley-Harris has helped thousands of ordinary citizens transform from hopeless bystanders to powerful advocates. \u003cem\u003eReclaiming Our Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of the organizations that Daley-Harris has founded or coached. They have been leading change-makers in three global movements: microfinance, which provides small loans for the poor around the world; child survival, which is saving millions of lives from malnutrition and disease; and finally climate change. The organizations featured in this 20th-anniversary edition are committed to empowering individuals to express their personal and political power. “This book is about more than reclaiming our democracy,” says Share Our Strength founder and CEO Bill Shore, “it is about reclaiming the soul of citizenship.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Daley-Harris\u003c\/strong\u003e founded RESULTS in 1980, the Microcredit Summit in 1995 and the Center for Citizen Empowerment and Transformation in 2012.
