Description:

This is the story of Vinny DeMarcoâ€™s three remarkably successful Maryland organizing campaigns to enact gun control; hike cigarette taxes and enact tobacco controls in a tobacco-growing state; and provide comprehensive health coverage, including forcing Wal-Mart to pay for the undercoverage of their employees. It is told by the dean of U.S. community organizers: among many other distinctions, Michael Pertschuk was chair of the Federal Trade Commission under President Carter; he has also won a lifetime achievement award from APHA.
