false 3232100 1 We tend to focus on trying to solve big societal problems, the big barriers that separate us, but, as Roberto Vargas argues, the most promising path to change is actually the most accessible and the most universal: the family. In our daily family and friendship circles, we experience countless opportunities to empower, inspire, and support positive change in others. What if we could look at those experiences as the seeds of bigger, broader change? In this new guide for change advocates, Vargas explains how fostering familiathe feeling of connection we have with our relatives or with those we choose to call familyin all our relationships is the first step toward tackling broader problems in our community, our nation, and the world. When we start working for change at this most local of local levels, the relationships we build, and the respect and love that we show one another within the boundaries of family, becomes a model for all interactions with all people. 3266536 1 6 2008 Family Activism: Empowering Your Community, Beginning with Family and Friends (BK Currents) total:5|5:1|4:3|3:1| 5 20 13 2 5 0 false false Sat Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 06:18:44 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 06:20:21 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jul 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 14:02:28 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 18:32:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 07:56:41 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 07:56:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 08:20:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 08:20:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 06 11:48:13 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 11:48:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 16 23:04:06 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 23:04:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu May 21 11:21:50 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 11:22:32 -0700 2009 1 0 0 false false Tue Apr 28 10:17:28 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 10:17:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 01 09:32:28 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 09:32:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Mar 26 14:38:39 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 11:40:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jan 30 10:48:07 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 22:34:50 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 10:48:07 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 06 11:24:12 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 11:24:12 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue May 27 10:30:30 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 17:51:56 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 10:30:30 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3232100
