A veteran activist's guide to direct action and strategic civil
disobedience as the most radical and rapid means to social change
For decades, Lisa Fithian's work as an advocate for civil
disobedience and nonviolent direct action has put her on the
frontlines of change. Described by Mother Jones as "the nation's
best-known protest consultant," Fithian has supported countless
movements including the Battle of Seattle in 1999, rebuilding and
defending communities following Hurricane Katrina, Occupy Wall
Street, and the uprisings at Standing Rock and in Ferguson. For
anyone who wants to become more active in resistance or is just
feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, Shut It Down offers strategies and
actions you can take right now to promote justice and incite change
in your own community. In Shut It Down Fithian shares historic,
behind-the-scenes stories from some of the most important
people-powered movements of the past several decades. She shows how
movements that embrace direct action have always been, and continue
to be, the most radical and rapid means for transforming the ills
of our society. Shut It Down is filled with instructions and
inspiration for how movements can evolve as the struggle for social
justice continues in the Trump era and beyond. While recognizing
that electoral politics, legislation, and policy are all important
pathways to change, Shut It Down argues that civil disobedience is
not just one of the only actions that remains when all else fails,
but a spiritual pursuit that protects our deepest selves and allows
us to reclaim our humanity. Change can come, but only if we're open
to creatively, lovingly, and strategically standing up, sometimes
at great risk to ourselves, to protect what we love.
