Through countless transportation campaign stories from across the US, Lavin crafts a practical compass that can guide advocates at all stages to win the change our communities deserve.""----Cathy Dos Santos, Executive Director of Transit Alliance Miami ""A helpful guide for youth or anyone interested in joining the movement for people-first communities. Lavin relays the conditions, tactics, and coalitions necessary for building a movement that is joyous, effective, and widespread."" ----Elise Joshi, former Executive Director of Gen-Z for Change ""A lot of books will tell you what's wrong with your city's transportation system; this is a book that could actually help us fix it. It's full of actionable, approachable, and inspiring insights into what it will take to change the world, starting with our streets. Frankly, it's the book the transportation reform movement has been waiting for."" ----Kea Wilson, Senior Editor, Streetsblog USA ""A truly useful handbook for those who want to make change. It will be of great use to those working on transportation--but also for anyone trying to improve any part of our society.
