I just sped through this entire book in a weekend, but I'll definitely be coming back to reread sections of it.
Honest, moving, funny, and seriously persuasive book on running for something - anything. Litman is right, we need to stop complaining and do something about the ongoing nightmare that is post-2016 Election Day.
I'd already known that I wanted to do SOMETHING, but this book gives you concrete examples of what anyone can do. It doesn't matter who you are, there's something you can do, and Litman does a great job of breaking down just HOW your actions will matter. I'm sure everyone's heard that "local elections matter"... but you're still left wondering how. This book makes a good case for the power of local politics, and will leave you feeling a bit more empowered than before.
So anyway, read this and then run for something.

Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself (English Edition) Kindle版
The must-have guide for young progressives looking to run for local office, complete with contributions from elected officials and political operatives.
You’ve been depressed since the night of November 8, 2016. You wore black to work the next morning. You berated yourself for your complacency during the Obama years. You ranted on Twitter. You deleted Twitter. You sent emails to your friends saying, “How can we get more involved?” You listened to Pod Save America. You knitted a pussyhat. You showed up to the Women’s March on Washington. You protested Donald Trump’s executive orders. You called your congressman. You called other people’s congressmen. You set up monthly donations to Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. You reactivated Twitter (begrudgingly).
Here’s what you do next: Run for something.
To be specific: Run for local office and become the change you want to see in the world. Forget about Congress. Forget about the Senate. Focus on the offices that get the real sh*t done: state legislatures, city councils, school boards, and mayors.
It doesn’t matter if you’re not a white man over sixty with an Ivy League law degree. (In fact, it’s better if you’re not!)
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the first thing about running for office, or never even imagined you would. That’s what this book is for.
Amanda Litman, experienced in hard-fought state and national election campaigns, is here to give you guidance as well as wisdom and insight from elected officials and political operatives she interviewed for this book.
There are half a million elected officials in the United States. Why can’t you be one of them?

The missing manual for getting involved
2017年10月22日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book is:
a) Hilarious
b) Touching/sad/enraging (2016 was bad!)
c) Practical as hell
This feels like the missing manual for running for office (especially local office). Something countless political biographies and memoirs touch on the experience of, but almost no one who breaks down the nuts and bolts. This covers the how and the why of getting involved in a way that makes it a very, very quick read. And as someone obsessed with paper texture, etc. the publisher put together a book that really *feels* like a manual. Very, very cool.

I decided to run but I don't like the f bombs
2022年5月29日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I actually decided to run for County's Commissioner because of this book. So for that matter it is worth it's weight in gold. However, I thought the swearing was unprofessional and off putting. I actually had to stop reading it because I was afraid I would become comfortable with swearing and swear at an inopportune time.

EXCELLENT resource for progressive women
2018年3月10日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book was so well done - it is engaging, informative and motivating. I actually borrowed it from the library first, but it contained so many gems of wisdom, I wound up buying it. The book is geared toward younger women running as Democrats and it nails its mark. Thank you Amanda Litman for such a well-written, well-researched, how-to book to get involved.

I've worked in campaigns (including one with Amanda!) and she's boiled down the things you really need to know in a usable, useful, informative and funny guide. A must for anyone considering running for office!
