Recommended Reading

Books by Saul Alinsky

The NEA recommends the following Saul Alinsky books "to those members of our Association who are involved in grassroots organizing, especially Association Representatives (ARs) — also known as building reps or shop stewards — and leaders at local affiliates."

• Reveille for Radicals
• Rules for Radicals

The organization states: "We hope that ARs and local leaders of all political stripes will discern from Alinsky’s books grassroots organizing strategies that will best help us bring our members together around the common goal of improving public education."
