Inspiring book about how to get your independent voice heard - but it's more aimed at teens. Nonetheless, enjoyed reading it. Why wasn't this around when I was 13?
This book is a great resource for young teens, and I was reminded of a bunch of stuff that I think is critical to know but easy to take for granted when you're an older activist. There's a good resource list in the back and great advice from activists I admire.
