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.
