"From Argentinian mothers demanding answers to Hong Kongers papering walls with Post-it notes, these stories prove that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things. This book won't tell you what to protest-that's your call. It will show you how people just like you have done it successfully, from Kenya to New Zealand." - Joshua Ammons, Wabash College
