Vast range of issues and struggles covered, geographically and thematically: Features compelling case studies, stories, and perspectives from a various countries, including Russia, China, Myanmar, South Africa, and the United States. The discussion is intergenerational, with contributors ranging from youth climate activists to veterans. The majortiy of authors are people of colour and women. Timely and gripping: Will appeal to both legal professionals and any general reader with progressive politics, moved by an interest in the world and the causes that drive it today: race, gender, indigenous rights, corporate accountability, police reform, AIDS and health, LGBTQ rights, freedom of information, the environment, democracy (in countries that do not have it), and, of course, climate justice. An important book for young lawyers and law students: Should serve as an inspiration to use their expertise to serve the people, rather than systems of power. Engagingly written: "If these essays hold valuable lessons for lawyers and activists and anyone interested in social justice, one of the most important is the very way they are written: they are gripping stories that will hold you even as they inform you. Their authors are all doers, people who have bravely acted to change the world. But they have come to understand, as I have, how public advocacy is nine tenths of any struggle-and that storytelling is what drives any public advocacy campaign, as it does any legal case."- Jane Fonda
