VOYA -
Nineteen-year-old Danny Seo, founder of Earth 2000, has been a successful activist since the age of twelve. He started then as a founder and teen leader in movements related to animal rights and the environment. Generation React is Seo's step-by-step manual on becoming an activist-no matter your age or cause. He provides detailed descriptions on how to change policy, generate publicity, stage events, organize boycotts or protests, and more. His advice includes staying informed by reading newspapers and news magazines, and watching the news. Then, Seo says, select a meaningful issue, lobby, fund raise, write letters... and be prepared for change. Seo says he wrote this manual because no other existed. Although there are many activist books and handbooks for kids, none have quite the blatant encouragement and specific detail Seo provides. Amazingly, however, he leaves out community access television as a way to promote his message. But that's a small criticism for a book with such big ideas. Buy this important and enthusastic book and push it. We can never have too many interested, participating citizens-not matter what their age is. Glossary. Index.
