Sharon Orlopp's Reviews > Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World without a Bullhorn

Highly, highly recommend!

I recently visited Portland and went into Powell's Bookstore. I have not been in Powell's for almost 10 years. It is one of the largest and best bookstores! I could spend days in there.

I saw the book, Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World without a Bullhorn and knew I had to buy it. It is a short, inspirational, call-to-action book. It features a section to determine your activist archetype. And it's chock full of great tips to get you started right now on upping your activism.

Memorable passages include:

* Activism is about doing the deep and devoted work of lifelong change-making.

* For our activism to be consistent, it must be sustainable. For a lifetime, not a season.

* Your activism reflects who you are.

* Activism means taking consistent action.

* The moment in which you find yourself matters.

* The starting point for all activism is becoming aware of something that strikes you as wrong or unjust and deciding that you want to make a difference.

* Origin stories come from lived experience. They propel us from observer to participant.

* Activism and social justice involve creating a world where everyone belongs.

* We all want to belong.

* Racial equity lies at the root of all activist work.

* Determine what you stand for.

* Focus creates the greatest impact. Focus on one or two causes.

* Be steady with your energy.

* Cultivate curiosity.

* Be brave in your conversations.

* Finding common ground can require thinking outside the box.

* Our actions each day are part of the legacy we leave.

* Think of legacy as the present, not the future.

* Legacy doesn't have to be loud to be meaningful.

* Activism should become part of your daily routine.

The time to get started is now and Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World without a Bullhorn shows you how.
