Find Your Fight

A practical and empowering guide for activists and advocates on how to speak out, spark controversy, and fight for what matters most! Before someone can become an effective activist or trusted ally, they must first find their fight and pinpoint the issue or issues that matter most to them. Once they figure this out, they can start moving what's inside them to the outside, where change happens. Jay Ruderman, activist and president of the Ruderman Family Foundation, has been doing just that for more than three decades-working to change popular opinion and influence public policy on the issues that move him. In this inspiring call to action, Ruderman offers hard-earned wisdom, surefire strategies, and actionable lessons for how to create controversy, speak up, and grab attention for the causes closest to readers' hearts. With authenticity and purpose, Ruderman details his many successes (and more than a few setbacks) to illustrate these lessons in action. Complementing his stories are profiles of notable activists and advocates from the past and present. Urgent and unapologetic, Find Your Fight teaches the next generation of activists and advocates how to step up, shout out, and start doing the hard work of bringing about lasting change.
