Booksellers & Librarians as Changemakers: How independent bookstores and libraries can help their local communities organize and apply influence to hold corporations accountable—using practical campaign strategies, coalition-building, and values-driven advocacy to drive real change. |
|
Michael Marx, founder of Corporate Ethics International and author of Reining in the Bulls: How to Stop Corporate Abuse in an Age of Unbridled Greed, has led some of the most influential accountability campaigns of the past fifteen years, involving such companies as Google, Apple, Disney, and Amazon. His work demonstrates how communities can successfully organize and take action to influence corporate behavior.
Marx will present an educational session built specifically for booksellers and librarians—advocates whose work already shapes cultural and civic life in their communities. Drawing from the book’s pragmatic and action-oriented advice, including his “Corporate Ethics Ten Commandments,” Marx will offer real-world strategies for leveraging community voices, for coalition-building, and for putting market pressure on corporations to effect meaningful change.
