Summary | "Here's the definitive guide to getting started in activism for every kid who's eager to make a difference. In a world where so many causes need time and attention, it can be hard to know where to start -- enter Gen Z activist Charlene Rocha, who started out at #FridaysforFuture climate strikes and since then has made a place for herself at rallies and workshops for all kinds of causes. With co-author Mary Beth Leatherdale, Charlene demystifies activism for budding social justice advocates. This important and timely handbook takes a friendly and fun approach, encouraging readers to bring their own passions and interests to their activism. Information is presented in chunks and sidebars, with engaging quizzes, prompts, tips, interviews, and more. From choosing a cause, researching and connecting with others to organizing fundraisers and attending protests, all stages of working for change are explained, in a supportive tone, by a peer who's been there. Along the way, readers will benefit from practical tips for everything from sending emails to leading a team, and will learn about essential topics such as intersectionality, privilege, allyship and much more. A must-have guide for kids who are passionate about improving the world around them"-- Provided by publisher. |
