Letters from Young Activists
Today's Rebels Speak Out
Dan Berger, Chesa Boudin , Kenyon Farrow and Bernardine Dohrn
November 2005
ISBN: 1560257474
Who will lead America in the years to come? Letters from Young Activists introduces America's energized, exciting new generation of activists. The contributors to this book are atheist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim; queer, heterosexual, bisexual--Americans from every type of background, united in working towards racial, economic, environmental and global justice.
In letters addressed to their parents, to past generations, to each other, to the youth of tomorrow and to their future selves, they articulate their vision for the world. As the editors write in their introduction: "From globalization to the war on terrorism and beyond, our generation is compelled to action in the midst of a rapidly changing and unique political moment. Our challenge, and yours, is to live our lives in a way that does not make a mockery of our values."
