Quotes about Citizen Works

Ralph Nader:

"CITIZEN WORKS is a new organization that recruits and trains citizen activists in ever-increasing numbers, directs them to focused action campaigns as well as novel synergies with existing efforts, and institutes simple mechanisms for banding activists together."

"The stalling or defeat of one national justice movement after another by the few over the many is due to the lack of skilled organizers, communicators and coordinated efforts. The tools and motivations of democracy will be the stock and trade of CITIZEN WORKS. The drive for electoral reforms will pry open our political system so that the people's sovereignty replaces the corporate sovereignty."

Barbara Ehrenreich:

CITIZEN WORKS is "a small-d democratic effort to put the powers of the government into the hands of the people, which is what Ralph Nader has always done best."

"CITIZEN WORKS is important because social change starts with education – not just the what and the why, but the how. By training the next generation of organizers, activists, and candidates, we’ll have the power to turn our demands into realities."
