Impact: Personal Portraits of Activism

Something happened and motivated these quiet activists to make an impact on their family, organization, or community. They chose to speak up about issues they care about. Some are following a tradition of generational activism. Others became involved for the first time and suddenly realized they were engaged in activism. Impact: Personal Portraits of Activism gathers personal essays, poems, short stories, and drama from around the world to show how actions big and small can lead to some form of justice.

A standout book, Impact won the 2021 Best Book Award in Current Events and was a Finalist for Social Change with the American Book Fest. In addition, the book was a 2021 Indie Book Award Finalist in two categories: Anthology and Social Change.
