Manny’s: Changemaker: Insider’s Guide to Getting Sh*t Done at the California Capitol

Join host KBH Advocacy for an exciting evening to celebrate the launch of the new book: Changemaker: An Insider’s Guide to Getting Sh*t Done at the California Capitol.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 22, 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM, at Manny’s, 3092 16th St, San Francisco.

Authored by veteran labor lobbyist Kristina Bas Hamilton, Changemaker is a unique, easy-to-understand guidebook that breaks down California’s legislative process into actionable steps with real-world lessons on how to win legislative campaigns.

Find out why Changemaker is:

“The guidebook all lobbyists wish they had when first starting out.” – Angie Wei, former Legislative Affairs Secretary, Office of Governor Gavin Newsom; former Chief of Staff, California Labor Federation

“An inside and practical take on how workers can win legislative campaigns, Changemaker boldly recognizes an unsavory truth: the legislative process is far too removed and intimidating for the vast majority of Californians. The book aspires to change this by demystifying the legislative process to make it more transparent and accessible.” – Kimberly Alvarenga, Executive Director, California Domestic Workers Coalition

“Changemaker spells out the recipe for success inside California’s Capitol: it’s the right mix of good planning, building strong relationships, empowering grassroots leaders, and keeping the faith that makes for an effective advocate. I hope this book finds its way to the next generation of young leaders who can continue the tough and necessary work of advocating for big, bold ideas through the state legislature.” – Natalie Foster, President and Co-Founder of Economic Security Project & author of The Guarantee (April 2024)

“Not since my childhood days of School House Rock have I enjoyed such a clear, concise, and accessible explanation of the legislative process. Kristina Bas Hamilton is proof that “lobbying” need not be a dirty word and that there are good guys — and gals — out fighting the good fight for workers and progressive causes in our halls of power.” – Libby Schaaf, 50th Mayor of Oakland & Lecturer at the Goldman School of Public Policy, UC Berkeley
