Shannon Watts is a powerhouse and shows us how to act in the face of fear and injustice instead of just sitting back and doing nothing. Sharp, convincing, and (sadly) necessary, this volume belongs on any activists -- or parent's -- bookshelf.
This is a must read for anyone, especially moms, who want to do something about gun violence. I feel more well informed and inspired to effect change. I enjoyed the useful statistics as well as the achievements that Moms Demand Action have reached. Highly recommend.
<i>Fight Like A Mother: How a Grassroots Movement Took on the Gun Lobby and Why Women Will Change the World</i> was written by Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, who created the group as a Facebook page in her kitchen after the events of Sandy Hook. The group now has over five million supporters working to end gun violence and Watts has testified on gun violence before lawmakers.
Watts has delivered an engaging and insightful book on the battle to end gun violence. It is both a rallying cry and a how-to for anyone who wants to change the gun laws in the United States – especially moms.
