BE THE CHANGE is an essential handbook for the modern activist, whether
your campaign is big or small, local or global, or somewhere in between.
'Gina Martin's powerful campaigning and vital activism changed the
law, making our country safer for women and girls. This book tells us
how she did it - and how you can too'Sadiq Khan, Mayor of LondonIn June
2017, a man took a photo up Gina Martin's skirt at a music festival.
The police told her that this was not a sexual offence; the man would
not be charged. The law had let Gina down, and her first reaction was
resignation. It's too big, too scary, too complicated for someone like
me to challenge this.
But something inside her had snapped. Gina
was tired of accepting sexual harassment as a fact of life. Eighteen
months later, she had changed the law and made upskirting a criminal
offence.
Now, Gina wants to empower you with the tools and
courage to challenge injustice and fight for change, whether it's in
your school, workplace or community, or even on a global scale. In BE
THE CHANGE you will learn: What activism really is and why it's so
important How to use the internet to fight for what you believe in How
to pick the cause you truly care about And how to do the hardest thing
in activism: get startedBe the Change also includes plenty of practical
advice like how to write a press release, set up an e-petition, find
pro-bono legal support and secure media coverage for your campaign.
