Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself
Amanda Litman (Author)
“Here’s what you do next: Run for something. To be specific: Run for local office and become the change you want to see in the world. Forget about Con-gress. Forget about the Senate. Focus on the offices that get the real sh*t done: state legislatures, city councils, school boards, and mayors.It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the first thing about running for office, or never even imagined you would. That’s what this book is for.[…] There are half a million elected officials in the United States. Why can’t you be one of them?”
