Class Matters
Cross-Class Alliance Building for Middle Class Activists
By Betsy Leondar-Wright

Movements for social change could be more powerful if they had more class
diversity – a factor that has limited their past size and clout. But
attempting to cross class barriers has frequently left middle class
activists frustrated, with few resources to turn to for help.

Based on interviews with 40 diverse activists and thinkers, Class Matters
fills this gap by demystifying this taboo topic. A guide to building
bridges across class lines and collaborating more effectively in
mixed-class social change efforts, it is designed in lively, highly
readable short "bites," full of stories, ideas, quotations, tips and
resources.
