<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Are you feeling fed up with the current political landscape? Over 100 amazing comic artists show you unique actions any one of us can take turn things around. A To Do list for changing the world. Artists share their passion and commitment to make things better in this fun and engaging collection. From simple ideas like signing a petition or going on a march, to more imaginative ones like becoming a 'raging granny' (old ladies who use their innocuous looks to gain entry into places like board meetings or arms fairs, and then create havoc). Many things can be done immediately, with little or no money at all. Others require a bit more planning. But all of them are steps that anyone can take if they want to enact change.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This would make a nifty gift for a progressive-minded recent graduate, or a motivational charge-up for anyone looking to start fresh with best intentions. . . .
