Citizen Wealth

America's safety net is torn and tattered. Income inequality continues to grow -- the gap between rich and poor has expanded fivefold in the last 25 years. For millions of working families, achieving basic middle-class comforts has begun to seem as a distant a dream as winning the lottery. What is needed, and what veteran organizer and ACORN founder Wade Rathke provides in this hard-hitting new book, is a comprehensive grassroots strategy to create what he calls citizen wealth: an enduring foundation on which working people can build a future that extends beyond paying next month's rent.

Rathke shares breakthrough strategies that have enabled ACORN and other organizations to help people secure the basics of citizen wealth, offering from-the-trenches advice on mounting successful living-wage campaigns, battling unscrupulous and predatory lending practices, and developing new forms of worker organizations to protect wages and benefits.
