BE THE CHANGE is an essential handbook for the modern activist,
whether your campaign is big or small, local or global, or
somewhere in between. 'Gina Martin's powerful campaigning and vital
activism changed the law, making our country safer for women and
girls. This book tells us how she did it - and how you can too'
Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London In June 2017, a man took a photo up
Gina Martin's skirt at a music festival. The police told her that
this was not a sexual offence; the man would not be charged. The
law had let Gina down, and her first reaction was resignation. It's
too big, too scary, too complicated for someone like me to
challenge this. But something inside her had snapped. Gina was
tired of accepting sexual harassment as a fact of life. Eighteen
months later, she had changed the law and made upskirting a
criminal offence. Now, Gina wants to empower you with the tools and
courage to challenge injustice and fight for change, whether it's
in your school, workplace or community, or even on a global scale.
In BE THE CHANGE you will learn: What activism really is and why
it's so important How to use the internet to fight for what you
believe in How to pick the cause you truly care about And how to do
the hardest thing in activism: get started Be the Change also
includes plenty of practical advice like how to write a press
release, set up an e-petition, find pro-bono legal support and
secure media coverage for your campaign. Praise for Gina Martin:
'Gina is a total inspiration - an example of how one person CAN
change things' EMMA GANNON, Sunday Times bestselling author of The
Multi-Hyphen Method 'Gina Martin is a sensation. A one-woman
whirlwind whose campaigning skills and passion for justice achieved
vital legal change which the staid political establishment would
otherwise have left unremedied' THE SECRET BARRISTER, Sunday Times
bestselling author of The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and
How It's Broken
