Praise For Winds of Change "The Dandelion Trilogy comes to a
stunning conclusion with non-stop action and a cavalcade of
exciting ideas for transforming society." - Burt Kempner, author
and filmmaker "Winds of Change awakens you to the individual and
collective power of participatory democracy. It's brilliant,
elegant, and utterly simple. We just need to show up." - Natasha
Léger, Executive Director, Citizens for a Healthy Community "Winds
of Change really pulls the series together as an instructive
allegory of what continued activism for nonviolent change can look
like. It makes it look not-so-hard to live a life dedicated to
meaningful community action and change!" - Seán P. Duffy, Executive
Director, Albert Schweitzer Institute, Quinnipiac University
"Eloquent, visionary and accessible, this book energizes and
expands upon the epic stories told throughout the Dandelion
Trilogy. It encourages us to realize that revolution is not the end
of conflict, but the beginning of a messy, communal voyage towards
justice." - Susie Beiersdorfer, National Community Rights Network
"These practical and inspiring examples of direct democracy are
exactly what we need to move forward as society." - Marissa
Mommaerts, Gabriel's Garden "While set in a 'time that looms around
the corner of today', this book is filled with detailed
descriptions of tools and strategies my students can use here and
now." - Dr. Mark Stemen, California State University, Chico "This
novel lets us imagine what is possible in our work for peace with
justice." - Patrick Hiller, War Prevention Initiative
