After many years and lots of sweat and tears, Lisa’s book about the power of nonviolent direct action and people power movements is hitting the shelves on September 3, 2019! Stories range from the Pledge of Resistance in the 1980’s to Justice for Janitors, the Global Justice Movement, Common Ground Relief after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the Gaza Freedom March, OCCUPY, the Ferguson Uprising, to Standing Rock in 2016 with much more woven through. I included tool boxes for some simple HOW TO’s and a bit of theory as well! To learn more about the book you can go to www.shutitdownnow.org

Hope you will buy the book and spread the word!
