Now more than ever, young people need to be conscious of the media and government’s influence over their lives. In this book, Moore outlines many positive, useful strategies for social activism and awareness. Addressing a broad range of issues, she offers ideas and inspiration to "kidz" and encourages them to take charge of their world, be not just a participant but a leader – not simply a passive drone ready to absorb whatever school, the media, or government feeds them.

The book covers many useful topics with a healthy dose of humor. How to entice people to sit through your meetings (keep it short and bribe them with food), graphic design, zine making, demonstration organization, and fundraising are all covered. An extensive set of appendices rounds out the book. All in all, it’s a very useful tool, that at about 5” x 6” is just the right size to keep stuffed in your backpack. Let's hope that plenty of kids seek this book out and put it to good use!
