Drawing from the 2024 edition of his book: "Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen's Guide to Transformational Advocacy," Sam Daley-Harris will help us understand the difference between "transactional advocacy" -- sign the petition, transaction complete, and the lesser known, but far more powerful "transformational advocacy." With transformational advocacy volunteers are trained, encouraged, and then succeed at doing things as advocates they never thought they could do and, as a result, they see themselves in a new light, they see themselves as community leaders. Daley-Harris will help you see how you can add aspects of transformational advocacy to your current advocacy work.
