The Pivot: Addressing Global Problems Through Local Action Free Audiobook Download by Steve Hamm


The Pivot is a compelling story of how one group of people-a group that in the past was too small and powerless to affect social change-fought for justice and equality by taking on an enormous global system. The Pivot relays the story of how the people of North Carolina, through their struggles against corporate interests and systemic racism, forced a corporation to pull out of the state after local resistance. Ultimately, it promotes hope for people who want to see social change happen locally.
