Action for a Change: A Student’s Manual for Public Interest Organizing – Ralph Nader In this action-oriented manual, Ralph Nader answers the plea of college students: What can we do about pollution and consumer injustice? How can students and other citizens work to get things done in their communities and states? A step by step guide is offered for forming Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG) like Nader’s in Washington, D. C., and the Nader-inspired PIRG’s in Minnesota and Oregon. Attorney Donald Ross shows in detail how to initiate public interest and research groups, how to marshal talent, how to finance the group, and how to put it to work. The PIRG approach is advocated to bring about “initiatory democracy,” a full-time citizenry, aware, informed, and constantly acting upon social, economic, and political institutions in the public interest.

Unstoppable: THE EMERGING LEFT-RIGHT ALLIANCE TO DISMANTLE THE CORPORATE STATE – Ralph Nader We are at one of the most pivotal moments in our country’s political history: Americans are more disillusioned with their political leaders than ever before and large majorities of citizens tell pollsters that big corporations have too much political power. The ever-tightening influence of big business on the mainstream media, elections and our local, state, and federal governments, have caused many Americans to believe they have no political voice.
