Our database, from which our directory was formed, was used by Jerry Brown's campaign staff in 1992. Ultimately, they say, the Democratic Party had to realize, after Jerry's wins, that environmental grassroots are a powerful ally. Hence, Gore was appointed. Some members of the Clinton-Gore Transition Team following the election used our handbook as well. There is perhaps no way to estimate what good it has done.
Grassroots activism can be powerful.
It must be provided the tools to grow. Small, large, and diverse forces must come together to create a new agenda, one based on clear, cooperative and wholistic approaches that recognize interdependence. Above all, people need to know how and where to get involved. Furthermore, we need to create new role models for future generations. The Macrocosm USA directory is the only book of its kind.
