AOC: The Fearless Rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and What It Means for America by Lynda Lopez
5.0
Listening to this book, at different times made me grin like an idiot (behind my mask), feel like I could do more, and challenged me to do so.
While I am not a Woman of Color, having come from a background of poverty hearing others speak about the importance of helping people. That we keep moving further and further away from those who are in need. Even assuming that these people can't be considered independent and hardworking if they also rely on any amount of help to ensure that they can survive in this world.
While this book is dedicated to AOC and the future she advocates for. I think a lot of these essays could be beneficial in showing the world why we need to make changes to the way the world is.
"What does a Just Society mean to you?" is what I took from this collection of essays but there are so many amazing works that touch on so much more.
