Synopsis

Imparting a ton of practical advice and wisdom gained through over forty years of civic activism, Rex Burkholder has written a guidebook for people who care about people. The Activist’s Toolkit is a new, creative approach to leadership, helping you be more effective as a community activist.

Here’s what you will find in The Activist’s Toolkit:

1. Tools to help you discover and articulate your passions and talents: Build your “leadership resume,” and articulate your personal “elevator speech.”

2. Guidance in finding allies and opportunities to make a difference. See how you can be an activist in your work and your community.

3. Practical information on managing your time, finding funding and motivating others.

The lessons in this book can be used by anyone—from the elected official to the nonprofit leader to the average citizen—hoping to discover new, more inclusive ways to address community problems.

The combination of exercises for personal reflection, practical suggestions for working with others, and stories of the successes and failures of ordinary people offers every reader ways to communicate authentically, advocate effectively, and lead productively toward a better world.
