"In their new book, Practical Radicals: Seven Strategies to Change the World,
Deepak Bhargava and Stephanie Luce offer what they say are “winning strategies,
history and theory for a new generation of activists”.

Bhargava and Luce – professors at the City University of New York’s School of
Labor and Urban Studies – emphasize that strategies can be taught to build
successful movements. In their book, they detail seven tactics that have been
successfully used to change the world: base-building, disruptive movements,
narrative shift, electoral changes, inside-outside campaigns, momentum and
collective care.

Steven Greenhouse, a longtime labor reporter and senior fellow at the Century
Foundation, conducted this Q&A. It has been edited for length and clarity."
