About the Book

Lead the Way is the ultimate guide to activism and making systemic change, your way.

From identifying your cause to finding allies, planning a march, nailing your messaging, public speaking and working with the media, to the importance of self-care when you’re on your activist journey, Lead the Way will guide you to start changing the world today. Teenagers are leading the way towards a better future and you can too.
