The first book from Every Day Plus One Press is on its way!

The Little Book of Big Change Through Community Organizing is a small book packed with ideas on how to reach out and build relationships with groups throughout your community.

Broken down into easily digestible sections, each with several short case studies, there are sure to be examples that you can identify with when seeking to start or expand your community organizing work.

The book will be available by free Creative Commons PDF download or by a mail order of a physical copy through our ORDER page. The books will be printed in a unionized print shop in our efforts to support fair wages and decent work overall.

You can download a full, free digital PDF of the book from archive.org at THIS LINK.
