I love how this is written for teenagers. The short snippets from different people in different formats is a really great way to receive information. It is very straightforward and clear. It inspires action and hope, which is needed. I appreciate the different perspectives and the action guide at the back! There are some new books to add to my reading list for sure!

A strong collection of essays, interviews, comics, and songs that is supposed to appeal to young adults, but can be profound for those past the "YA" age bracket.
Found that some of these essays were stronger than others, and some of people that were apart of this collection were definitely included just because of name, because of this I hesitant to push it over a 3 star. I feel that they could have included more small bloggers and activist instead of only big name authors and such.
All in all a pretty solid collection of essays that would suit beginners of voting and social justice well.

Great collection of different stories. The best ones were the personal stories and memories type passages. The “how to” portioned seemed out of place and damages the atmosphere a little bit. Over all it was a nice collection of stories that everyone could learn form.

2.5 rounded up to 3 stars
I think the concept of this is good; many of the authors had very good pieces, but there were a couple that I thought were incredibly condescending, or attempting to be satirical but ended up totally missing the mark for me.

Felt outdated not in the way where it was offensive but in the fact that some of the information felt out of date

I love this book. It is beautifully written, allowing each contributor’s personality and style to shine through. We have interviews, essays, lists, the this is fine meme, sheet music, poetry... whoever you are, there’s a piece about political engagement, activism, and/or resistance here for you. And the diversity of the voices is so cool. The diversity of topics and types of encouragement! Helpful, intelligent, kind, and hopeful. Good read for not only YA, but also for any adults who want a intelligent political book that isn’t so dense or pretentious.
