Building National Campaigns: 

Activists, Alliances, and How Change Happens

The Oxfam book Building National Campaigns looks at five successful labour rights campaigns from across the world – Colombia, Morocco, Nicaragua, Sri Lanka, and the United States.

The book describes the ups and downs, the steps forward, and the set-backs involved in running national campaigns.  Learning points and good practice tips are provided throughout the book.  The book and these pages will be of interest and use to all campaigning individuals and organisations, not just those working on labour rights.

These online resources provide you with additional material to help you understand the content of the book and inspiration for planning your own campaigns.
