About this listen

Even if you're not an activist (yet), at a time when the news is written for clicks and elections are fought with three-word slogans, it's crucial to preserve some record of events that isn't 'fake news' or political spin.

In part, this book is my attempt to counter the rewriting of how Australia achieved one of the most significant social changes in a generation.

Sally Rugg is one of Australia's most influential campaigners for social change. How Powerful We Are is her manifesto for championing what you believe is right.

In this book Sally will teach you some of the things she learnt on the marriage equality campaign: how to develop a strategy, how to frame your messages, how to get your campaign to the media, how to build community power. And she'll share with you the much harder lessons learnt: the consequences of campaign decisions; how to weather criticism and harassment from every angle; and how, in mass campaign movements, nothing is black and white.

Sally’s sense of humour, empathy, openness, and deep knowledge of this complex process and intersecting personal stories allows her to give an impressively approachable and completely riveting account of a very complex topic. A deeply compelling and edifying book. I urge all allies in particular to read it.

Inspiring, informative, important and incredibly interesting

Sally gives incredible insight into the Marriage equality fight in Australia. she covers hugely important community organising tactics that forced the Australian government to pass the law while also providing the reader with essential political explanations on how the Australian politicalsystem works (or doesn'twork!). A must read for all! Well done Sally and thank you for writing this!
