Somebody Should Do Something: How Anyone Can Help Create Social Change

A novel and scientific approach to creating transformative social change and the surprising ways that each of us can help make a real difference. Changing the world is difficult. One reason is that the most important problems, like climate change, racism, and poverty, are structural.They emerge from our collective practices: laws, economies, history, culture, norms, and built environments.The dilemma is that there is no way to make structural change without individual people making different more structure-facing decisions.In Somebody Should Do Something, Michael Brownstein, Alex Madva, and Daniel Kelly show us how we can connect our personal choices to structural change and why individual choices matter, though not in the way people usually think. The authors paint a new picture of how social change happens, arguing that our most powerful personal choices are those that springboard us into working together with others warehouse worker Chris Smalls s unionization at Amazon is one power
