Summary:
"David Fenton is the founder of Fenton Communications, created to promote issue-oriented public relations campaigns on the environment, public health, and human rights. In an extraordinary career David Fenton has learned first-hand what to do--and not to do--to propel
progressive
causes into the public eye and create real, impactful, lasting change. A visionary
activist
, Fenton has been the driving force behind some of the most important and history making campaigns of the last 50
years
, from the No-Nukes concerts with Bruce Springsteen in 1979, to the campaigns to free Nelson Mandela and end apartheid in the late 1980s, exposing the dangers of toxic chemicals in our food, the long battle to legalize marijuana and end racist drug laws, the misinformation in Washington during the Bush era in the 2000s, and recent campaigns that successfully banned fracking in New York and alerted the public to the climate crisis, including the environmental impact of Bitcoin. Reflecting on his life, with tales of living in a commune, photographing riots and rock stars, working at Rolling Stone and High Times magazines rabble-rousing with Abbie Hoffman, and collaborating with presidents and celebrities, David tells the fascinating story of how he developed the strategies and tactics that have made him a successful
media
agitator
. David then shows how these tools can be used by anyone to advance their cause. Part rollercoaster memoir, part practical guide, The
Activist
's
Media
Handbook
provides an essential toolkit for today'
s
activists for organizing to win: how to tell your story, captivate audiences, and inspire them to join the cause."--From publisher.
