SOUL OF ACITIZENHOW CAN YOU MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD AND YOUR ACTIONS COUNT?

Paul Rogat Loeb explores how to act on our deepest beliefs—and make a difference despite all the obstacles. He describes:

• What gets people—especially students—involved in working for change

• What stops us from becoming involved

• How community involvement can give us a powerful sense of connection and purpose, nurturing hope in a time of fear

• How we can avoid burning out in exhaustion, and keep on for the long haul
