My coauthor, Joanna, and I were in the pit of despair following the 2016 election and had done various civic actions to make ourselves feel better (hosting a documentary promoting body positivity, for example).
Then a friend asked us how to help her middle-schooler feel less pessimistic about the country and its leadership. We put those two thoughts together: actions to promote a better world and helping people figure out how to get involved. Tah-dah! Wake, Rise, Resist: The Progressive Teen's Guide to Fighting Tyrants and A*holes was born.
