Author Information

David B. Reynolds is an activist, educator, and researcher in the Labor Studies Center at Wayne State University. He is a leader in the living wage movement—both nationally and in Michigan. Working in partnership with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), he authored Living Wage Campaigns: An Activist’s Guide to Building the Movement for Economic Justice (2001). He headed two teams that researched the impact of Detroit’s living wage law. Mr. Reynolds sits on the steering committee of several local living wage campaigns and has consulted and been interviewed nationally about living wage activism. In addition to his expertise in labor-community coalitions, Mr. Reynolds has helped unions develop worker-to-worker political mobilization programs. His Democracy Unbound: Progressive Challenges to the Two Party System (1997) explores grassroots progressive political organizing.
