The right to protest is a fiercely contested and ultimately elusive prize, yet it remains the cornerstone of any flourishing democracy. When we unite our voices and perspectives, they resonate with those in authority. Protest has wielded its power to topple governments and shape laws, incurring both loss and transformation.

In this comprehensive volume, we delve into six pivotal areas of protest, exploring the underlying reasons behind these issues, the historical contexts in which they have been raised, and the contemporary ways in which children are engaging in protest. We will examine the international Women's Marches, the fervent #Black Lives Matter movement, the #Enough is Enough campaign, and the impactful work of organizations such as CND and Greenpeace, all complemented by a captivating blend of poster art and photography.

This book is proudly presented in association with Amnesty International, with a foreword penned by esteemed author Chris Riddell.
