“Leveraging fear gets great results for people who want to bring out the worst in others, but it garners lessers returns for those who want to bring out the best.”

This is the book I needed as someone who doesn’t have any activism or organizing experience. For the past two months things have felt insurmountable, so this was the book I needed to read. 

I love the way the information in this book is presented. While dense and full of information, it’s written in a way that doesn’t feel so overwhelming. I was interested and engaged versus feeling confused or unable to follow. The authors share their experiences in an effort to connect, which I thought worked really well to convey information. 

There is a big focus on building relationships within this space and how important connecting is. I think we don’t always know how to speak to those who don’t think the same, and this book does an excellent job of breaking that down. The thought of activism or organizing can be scary, but it feels less so after finishing this book. The end of the book shares a lot of resources and tips for protest protection, which I thought was a valuable and necessary inclusion. 

“How much discomfort is the whole world worth?”

I realize that this book isn’t a catch-all, but it felt like such a great place to start. It felt like a spark. It’s a perfecting starting point and I can’t recommend it enough.
