Über diesen Titel

Why do some fights for justice hit a wall while others succeed? What does it take to win social change, especially now? It comes down to understanding one thing: the difference between presence and power.

Failing to do so is one way we got into this mess, but understanding how power really works is a big part of how we get out of it.

Rashad Robinson would know. A social change strategist, he’s spent more than twenty years at the highest levels of leadership in two of the most significant social movements of our time: the fight for LGBTQ rights and the fight for racial justice. He’s taken on tech giants and the criminal justice system, politicians in Washington and corporate executives in Hollywood. He’s been on the front lines of protest and in the back rooms of negotiation.

Robinson argues that achieving presence—the visibility of marches, media fads, and making issues popular—is not the same as gaining the leverage required to change the rules for how society works or change the decisions that politicians, corporate executives, and other people in authority make.

This book offers a set of essential lessons about power for anyone who wants to understand it, gain it, and use it to win the progress we all deserve—and to defeat the forces trying to take our freedoms away. Robinson provides the tools needed to help everyday people build real leverage in systems designed to prevent them from doing so.

As someone who helped shape the resistance after the 2016 election, and continues to help leaders at every level find innovative ways to fight back and win progress today, Robinson offers a hopeful, practical guide to achieving positive impact in the most challenging times.

Kritikerstimmen

“I’m sending this book to all my friends and family. Rashad doesn't just offer a diagnosis of the problems with how power works in this country; he offers clear, actionable ideas for how regular people can do something about it. As someone who has been involved in activism a good part of my life, he gave me a new way of thinking about the difference between visibility and power. This is a must-read for anyone who wants things to change.”—Jane Fonda, actress and activist

“Rashad Robinson is a generationally brilliant thinker and strategist, sharing inspiring, hard-earned wisdom on how to not just survive the present challenging environment, but to grab the reins and win. From Presence to Power is a step-by-step guide for everyone who wants to build and wield citizen power.”—Joy-Ann Reid, host and political commentator

“A book about winning and building power is a necessary tonic for the times when Donald Trump wields such power. Rashad Robinson gives a master class on how the build and sustain durable social change. Robinson has the courage to call out movement leaders who have failed to meet the moment. He also has the battle scars from locking horns with the most powerful people on the planet. Most importantly, Rashad dissects how we can win and where and why we have come up short. His analysis of roles, rules, and results offers a masterclass on how to find a path to power and out of the wilderness in which progressives now find themselves. This book is a must-read for anyone committed to winning structural change—not just momentary victories.”—Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU
