Along with powerful images, the book includes reflections from more than a dozen courageous activists—from Jane Fonda, Rebecca Solnit, and Robert Reich to Dolores Huerta, Nemonte Nenquimo, and Justin J. Pearson.With protest under threat across the world, Leonard and Carothers remind us that there are many ways to safely engage in and support the right to protest—from organizing an action to supporting environmental action groups in your own community. This book offers inspiration for how to answer that call.ABOUT THE AUTHORSAnnie Leonard spent 17 years with Greenpeace US, serving as executive director from 2014 to 2023.
