Celebrate the right to resist!

This nonfiction middle grade read celebrates the right to fight for what we believe, promotes peaceful protests, and encourages young people to become active particpants in our world.

Human rights belong to every single one of us, but they are often under threat. Developed in collaboration with Amnesty International, Rise Up! encourages young people to engage in peaceful protest and stand up for freedom. Striking color photographs of protest posters celebrate the ongoing fight for gender equality, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, refugee and immigrant rights, peace, and the environment.

Includes a powerful foreword by Mari Copeny, also known as "Little Miss Flint", who fights not only for the kids of Flint in the quest for clean water, but also advocates for kids of all ages to embrace their power and their voices.
