Just finished Changemaker by Kristina Bas Hamilton! A great book that gives valuable information and advice to people at every level of political experience. The portions on budget advocacy are especially valuable for those trying to make an impact in any state. KBH's insider tips are universal and I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to improve their advocacy skills.

What an absolute thrill to join Kristina Bas Hamilton on her exceptional podcast, Blueprint for California Advocates! And let me tell you -- if you want to know how to make real change at the state & local level, Kristina is THE person to learn from. I devoured her new book "Changemaker: An Insider’s Guide to Getting Sh*t Done at the California Capitol" recently. If, like me, you're trying to learn more about how to get important legislation passed in CA -- it's a must-read! And if you want to hear more about my journey from finance to tech to digital marketing to celebrity activism, give the pod a listen below!

Rated 5 out of 5
My name is Anthony Angelini and I am the Government Affairs Director for the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce. "Changemaker" should be required reading for any advocate, new or old. Not only does it provide an amazing foundation for the new advocate, but even seasoned professionals have something to learn from this book. I would feel as comfortable giving this book to my intern as I would to my Assemblymember. The insider tips and tricks are essential and the easily digestible overview of the process makes it seem less ephemeral. This book takes what can be a scary process and gives the reader the confidence to believe it is within reach.

You don't know what you don't know, but Kristina brings a LOT into the know with Changemaker. There's a ton of thought and work that goes into advocacy in California, and this book served to be super useful towards navigating that process. Brief, informative, and to the point. If you're also trying to get sh*t done in CA, start here.

Essential in-flight reading when you're flying back from an all-day meeting in LA with @CatalystCali, @millionvp, and @aapiforceef that focused on how to advance equitable policies across the state through the Budget Power Project. @kbashamilton

It’s always a special privilege to celebrate those who make such a difference, but rarely get the spotlight. I’ve learned (and still learn!) so much about #CALeg from @kbashamilton and I’m proud of her, her book, and the wisdom she shares. So good to see @Miss_Mausie too.

Bought the book and will swing by the party. Why would I support @kbashamilton, who is a committed left-of-center advocate? Because she is un-bought and un-buyable, and I find that much easier to deal with. The #caleg community would be better off if we had 100 more like her!
