Synopsis
A Is for Ally, Advocate, Anti-Racist, Ancestors, and Assembly Using simple explanations and appealing illustrations in a familiar A-to-Z format, The Young Activist's Dictionary of Social Justice will teach kids the new vocabulary of change.

Infographics and sidebars bring complementary concepts to life. And with the rich resource section in the back, kids can read more about how to take action on the cause that&’s meaningful to them. Read on, and let&’s work together for a more equal world for all.
