Author and activist Sam Daley-Harris says that “Agonizing, protesting, and turning off the news” aren’t our only options. There’s another way—what Daley Harris calls transformational advocacy, a form of advocacy where you work to change an issue, and you are changed in the process. Citizens’ Climate Lobby New Mexico invites all New Mexicans to join us for this presentation and Q&A with Sam to learn more about how we can awaken to our power as citizens to build the political will for a livable world and transform ourselves in the process.
About the speaker: Sam Daley-Harris founded the anti-poverty lobby RESULTS in 1980, co-founded the Microcredit Summit Campaign in 1995, and founded Civic Courage in 2012. The paperback edition of his book Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen’s Guide to Transformational Advocacy was named an editor’s pick by Publisher’s Weekly BookLife and was released January 14th, 2025. Kirkus Reviews wrote: "Overall, [the author's] analysis of effective action is as persuasive as it is accessible, and his call to democratic participation is inspiring. A handbook for aspiring activists that readers will find to be both inspiring and practical." Daley-Harris has been interviewed on NPR’s Here and Now and on PBS’s Laura Flanders and Friends.
