Three types of activists can use What's On Your Sign? How to focus your passion and change the world.
First, the unexpected activist who wants to change the world but needs help getting started in activism. Have you confronted a situation that led you to want to join the fight? You are an unexpected activist.
The unproductive activist has been involved in social justice but isn't sure whether their work is making an impact. If you are already working in a cause but need to focus your passion, use the tools in this book to check your impact, and connect with an organization that helps you grow.
Finally, this book is for the untested activist, who is clear about how they want to change the world despite just getting started in activism. An example of an untested activist is a teen who knows the impact they wish to make in social justice. Another example is an empty-nester who hasn't had much time for social justice work but now wants to make an impact.
With so much happening, it's hard to know where to start.

I don't tell you to head to the streets. Instead, I help you recognize what you bring to the table that will create a positive impact on your issue.
Other books direct you to the author's cause. I help you focus on your passion.
My goal is to inspire you to consider something more than marches. Today's activists use art, music, public speaking, writing, teaching, and the power of the pen to change the world. You can, too. Make a difference doing something you love.
I was in your shoes once. When I got off the sidelines, I was spread thin and overwhelmed. Worse, I wasn't sure I was making a difference.
Feeling discouraged, I decided to learn how to be an effective activist. My deep dive into the research yielded well-tested results and techniques that I pulled together into my activism path. Rather than trying to solve multiple issues, finding the cause closest to my heart made all the difference. When I matched my skills with an activism method that motivates me, I began to change the world.
You can change the world, too.
