The Book of Everyday Resistance
About this ebook
I was asking myself, “What can I really do?” Through the creation of this book I have come to realize that I am actively participating in resistance every day.
Most importantly, through my work in publishing, I am supporting artistic and literary expression that examines the perils of our current trajectory, speaks of a different approach to governance, and outlines effective approaches to political and social activism.
THE BOOK OF EVERYDAY RESISTANCE is a collection of essays about what we can do to resist, how we resist, and why we resist.
It features voices of all ages who are resisters, including politicians, writers of every genre, prominent public figures, firefighters, teachers, medical professionals, librarians, lawyers, and students.
The purpose of this book is to let us all know we are not alone, and that we are part of a large community of common purpose. Hopefully, with this book we will inspire each other and give each other ideas about how to resist those forces that seek to shut down our work toward a more progressive, inclusive society.
