It's portable, requires no batteries or electricity, and was created by three smart women. I recommend it! <b><br>--Gloria Steinem</b>, activist and writer <p/>As we look around and see this troubling rise of violence, intolerance, and injustice, in our world, many people want to play a more active role in solving these problems. The biggest issue is most of us do not know how. Thankfully, these three brilliant and bad-ass women wrote the book we have been waiting for. <i>Road Map for Revolutionaries </i>is a powerful step by step guide that shows us how to move from outrage to action in ways that lead to sustainable impact and change. If you are ready to change the world right now, read this book and go get to work." <b><br>--Bobby Jones</b>, CMO of PeaceFirst and author of <i>Good is the New Cool</i> <p/>"What a necessary and timely project. I want to buy two more copies immediately to share with my two sons. It is awesome." <b><br>--Ricki Lake</b>, talk show host, actor, and activist <p/>In one sentence I felt empowered. 'Courage is contagious, and when everyday revolutionaries speak out and come together in solidarity, our mighty power expands exponentially.' <i>Road Map for Revolutionaries</i> gives step-by-step instructions on how to cultivate this courage, what to look for and why it matters.<br><b>--Carla Hall</b>, chef and author <p/><i>Road Map For Revolutionaries</i> will become THE tool in your toolbox that is irreplaceable in today's world where advocacy and activism are daily essentials. This new book co-authored by three brilliant women gives you the perfect template for supporting your chosen causes when you have run out of ideas of what more can you do. For young and mature audiences alike, you will want to buy for all those you care about.<br><b>--Susan McPherson</b>, founder of McPherson Strategies, a social impact-focused communications consultancy <p/> Being an ally is one of the most important aspects of my life. Social Justice has never been an easy thing to fight for, but it has gotten exponentially harder since 2016. It's so easy to become overwhelmed. This guide helps me feel empowered, and makes positive change seem less daunting. As a single mother of a cisgender, white, most likely straight male, my job as an ally has become that much more important. Not only do I feel the responsibility to stand up for and behind marginalized people, but I also have to teach my son how to do the same. Mostly my role as a parent seems to be to unteach him the lessons he learns out in the world every day. Our culture tells him wherever he looks that he has more rights and privileges than almost every other group. <i>Road Map for Revolutionaries</i> provides an excellent jumping off point for me to better understand and explain our positions and responsibilities in our culture and gives me practical steps for getting us both involved in making the world a better place.<br> --<b>Daisy Eagan</b>, actor, writer, activist <p/>"The revolution must be financed. By definition, the system being fought against is much more lucrative than you, the angry mass(es). Chapter 3 lays out a step by step process for direct action with the sharpest spear, the dollar. This misunderstanding of your own financial power is the quickest way toward defeat in today's point and click protests. The backbone of the western world is money. History shows us that all of the rebels and revolutionaries began with securing money first. From Christopher Columbus and George Washington, to Fidel Castro and even Isis, they all started with capital. Money equating to power has been a close value to me throughout my life from firsthand experience. My mother shut down a lunch counter with fellow students active in SNCC. I am happy to see this comprehensive roadmap to aid the next generation who are, unfortunately, facing some of the same injustices past generations had to combat. <br><b>--Chef Ayindè</b>, actor, entrepreneur, president of I Eat Grass, LLC <p/>What a timely book this is, especifically for this new majority of multicultural and intersectional millennial and Gen Z generations, who care so much about democracy, equality, representation and access, but many times don't know were to start or what they can do to contribute to make our country a better place. Donating money, signing potions and attending marches are all very important, but this book gives readers so many other examples of how everyone can make a difference, even teenagers, from the comfort of their phone! <br><b>--Beatriz Acevedo</b>, President, Acevedo Foundation and founder, mitú, Inc. <p/>"If you're eager to make a difference but don't know where to start, this handbook is a must."<br><b>--Mashable<br></b><br>"The fury and rage here is in motion, fueling rallies and protests, giving rise to specific causes of liberation. This is a new-to-organizing handbook, though even veteran activists will appreciate its detailed and efficient assessments about how to tackle seemingly insurmountable, complex and complicated issues. ... In a world overrun with think pieces published hours after the most recent breakdown of democracy, <i>Road Map</i> is a lucid, refreshing, and concise guide that astutely demonstrates how to transform rage into productive, long-term resistance."<br><b>--Rewire</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ELISA CAMAHORT PAGE, one of the early advocates for social media as a communications and marketing tool, cofounded the pioneering women's media company BlogHer.
