I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
Absolutely 100% will be recommending this book to everyone.
This is the perfect resource for someone looking to become an ally, help out with issues, or build their own campaigns. Anyone looking to advocate or help with advocating should totally read this.
The information is told is an easy to read format and organized in a way that makes sense. The beginning has some little activities or thinking devices which will help people think about privilege and how to pick an issue to fight for. I love how at the end of a section there is a Takeaway which summarizes key information– for those who need a refresher or are flipping through for the right section.
This book does a good job of not alienating anyone, addressing all types of people and mentioning accessibility when setting up meetings or finding the best location for other things. I really think it reaches everyone. AND then talks about self-care and how people need to make time for themselves so they don't breakdown.
An amazing resource, which mentions even more resources, and one I feel will empower readers instead of overwhelm them.
