For years, Pat Libby has been teaching everyday citizens how to pass laws. Most of them knew next to nothing about the legislative process when they got started, yet many surprised themselves by passing a law on their first try. The Empowered Citizens Guide provides an easy, 10-step framework that breaks down the legislative process into bite-sized pieces. For those who are passionate about creating change in their communities, cities, or states this book provides a simple recipe to make a difference.

Libby provides an explanation of terms related to advocacy and lobbying as well as the legal rules for public charities that want to lobby. A detailed overview of the ten steps is illustrated by a real-life example of how a mother, whose son's addiction was fueled by over-the-counter drugs, fought alongside a few friends to pass a law that addressed a root of the problem. The Empowered Citizens Guide is the perfect text for those who want to create meaningful change.

Industry Reviews

"For the just curious about how a law gets passed or those itching to make it happen, this guide has all the answers." -- Karen R. Koenig, New York Journal of Books "Pat Libby offers an effective and easy-to-follow roadmap for everyone who wants to engage in our democracy -- a welcome guide for building people power to change the world!" - Carol Rose, ACLU of Massachusetts "The Empowered Citizens Guide takes the fear out of lobbying. So many (too many) people consider lobbying a dirty practice that only certain types of people can do. This book makes the concept real and doable." - Abby Levine, Alliance for Justice
