"Why doesn't somebody
do something?"
 
Debra Berg asked herself that question more than once. "Why is there still poverty in the richest country in the world?" "Where are the answers for our youth who are floundering in school and attempting suicide?" "Why are our inner cities decaying?" Then, a major Harvard study reported that American democracy was in jeopardy because citizens were less active in their communities. Could it be true?
Are we in a permanent downward spiral?

Plagued with unanswered questions, Debra embarked on an eight-year journey that led her into the neighborhoods of two dozen major American cities to seek answers. The former legislative analyst interviewed over 100 everyday heroes who are sacrificing personal lives, 401Ks, even an NFL pension, to invent working solutions to social ills from poverty to pedophiles and cybercrime to child abduction.

Did their ideas actually work? 

Not only have they worked, the far surpassed what the government has spent trillions to try to do for decades. More than one initiative boasts an 85% job retention rate of the previously homeless. In some schools, youth are successfully "policing" their peers to prevent shootings, drug, and gang violence. And those going through a major life transition are getting a self-sufficient fresh start thanks to new types of nonprofit/corporate partnerships. Low overhead costs of 10% or less are typical. While nonprofit growth in the human services sector has booming, the media and most universities are unaware of these bold successes. And the press portrays big social issues as simply too daunting for citizens to address.

In The Power of ONE, Debra raises our awareness and dispels common myths by
 featuring 35 innovative heroes who are helping to fuel this new trend. Like the inspiring story of the small business owner who crafted the national Amber Alert, people are saying "enough is enough" to decades of unsolved problems by getting very creative. They're also turning the heads of the experts by setting eye-opening goals like slashing poverty in half througout 30 U.S. cities by the year 2015. In the process, taxpayers are saved billions, volunteerism is on the increase, and "civic" and "social entrepreneurs" are replicating their ideas nationally and globally!

Debra says, "This New Civic America is unstoppable and is changing the nation
and the world!"
