SLJ Review of Be the Change

Young activists get an education about social justice campaigns. An introduction to each topic provides historical context and essential terminology. In Climate Emergency this includes causes of global warming and the human role in it. In Rights for Migrants and Refugees the introduction clarifies the classification of migrants and the primary causes of migration. Subsequent chapters focus on how change can be achieved through individual and political action, encouraging children to learn about refugees in their communities or transition to a more plant-based diet. The activist’s toolkit offers valuable resources, including relevant organizations, social media tips, and guidance on supporting marginalized communities. The books feature profiles of activists, timelines, glossaries, resource lists, and indexes. VERDICT While the toolkit lacks specificity in suggesting activities for young people, it serves as a starting point to think about effective ways to bring about change in their communities. Recommended.
