Citizens are making clear their frustration with their supposedly representative governments, which instead seem driven by the interests of big business, powerful individuals and wealthy lobby groups. What can we do about it? How do we fix democracy and get our voices heard? The answer, argues Alberto Alemanno, is to become change-makers - citizen lobbyists. By using our skills and talents and mobilizing others, we can bring about social and political change. Whoever you are, you've got power, and this book will show you how to unleash it. From successfully challenging Facebook's use of private data to abolishing EU mobile phone roaming charges, Alberto highlights the stories of those who have lobbied for change, and shows how you can follow in their footsteps, whether you want to influence immigration policy, put pressure on big business or protect your local community. 650 0 $a Political participation $v Popular works. 650 7 $a Political participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069386 650 7 $a Participation politique. $2 ram 650 7 $a Lobbyistes. $2 ram 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Civics & Citizenship. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Campaigns & Elections. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Affairs & Administration. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Popular works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423846 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781785782862 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020447.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30710A2E2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
