Overview

In You are Changing the World Whether You Like It or Not, David LaMotte challenges some deeply held, though seldom examined, ideas we have about how large societal changes happen and what our own roles in those changes can and should be. Drawing on stories from his own work and interviews with others in Guatemala, India, South Africa, Australia, Palestine, the United States, and Bosnia, LaMotte methodically challenges narratives that keep us immobile in the face of problems that confront communities, nations, and a world. You are Changing the World is challenging, encouraging and inspiring. In an accessible, story-based style, LaMotte looks at questions of daily vocation, helping us to discern both our potential to have an impact and how we go about getting started. Anyone who wants to live a life that matters will find something of value here.

Reviews

"Singer-songwriter David LaMotte, whose 2022 song ""September Me"" reached #1 on FAI's Folk Singles chart, is passionate about nonviolent social change and grassroots community building. Drawing on his extensive travels across six continents, LaMotte deploys his magnificent storytelling gifts to profile people who embody the transformative power of taking grassroots action. While LaMotte's encounters with headline changemakers such as John Lewis and Pete Seeger are inspiring, he ultimately encourages us to move beyond ""hero"" narratives to recognize that each of us can envision a better world and take actionable steps to make that a reality.-- Fellowship magazine"
