This book examines how everyday activists can enhance their
effectiveness. Leanne Kelly and Alison Rogers unpack theories from the
social sciences to help find meaning, explain these feelings of
inertia, and provide strategies to overcome them. Through lessons
learned over their careers as evaluators in non-profit organisations,
Kelly and Rogers provide tools and strategies for measuring,
improving, and sharing the effectiveness of planet-saving activities.
They draw upon interviews with everyday people who are contributing to
change in their homes, community groups, workplaces, and social
settings to understand how they motivate and encourage others. The
book concludes with a realistic look at individual expectations and
focuses on how to prioritise self-care to ensure that activists can
keep contributing in a way that maintains their wellbeing and balance.
A Toolkit for Effective Everyday Activism empowers people to use
theory, research, and practical tools to leverage their power so they
can make the maximum contribution possible and sustain their efforts
over the long term. It will be a great resource for individuals
working and volunteering in community groups, NGOs, and non-profit and
corporate organisations with an environmental focus.
