Kacey Carpenter is pleased to announce the release of his newest book, The Fight We’re In. The Fight We’re In is a practical guide for people who want to strengthen their communities and lead effective civic, nonprofit, volunteer, and community engagement efforts.
Drawing on more than three decades of experience in campaigns, labor organizing, nonprofit leadership, public policy, and community advocacy, the book shares lessons, strategies, and tools for organizing people around a shared purpose. Readers will find guidance on volunteer recruitment, communications, storytelling, fundraising, coalition building, digital organizing, leadership development, and sustaining community engagement over time.
In addition to organizing principles and real-world examples, the book includes One Hundred Ways to Fight, a collection of actions readers can take in their own communities; a Discussion Guide for book clubs, community groups, and workshops; a Conversation with the Author; Notes and Resources for further learning; and historical reference materials in the appendices.
Designed for community leaders, nonprofit professionals, volunteers, advocates, and engaged citizens, the book emphasizes hands-on application through worksheets, examples, case studies, and lessons learned from real-world experience.
