What to expect
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Black Friend and a seasoned activist comes an indispensable guide to social and political progressivism for young people and anyone wanting to get more involved.
Every generation inherits the problems created by the ones before them, but no generation will inherit as many problems—as many crises—as the current generation of young people. From the devastations of climate change to the horrors of gun violence, from rampant transphobia to the widening wealth gap, from the lack of health care to the lack of housing, the challenges facing the next generation can feel insurmountable.
But change, even revolution, is possible; you just have to know where to start. In Better Than We Found It, bestselling author Frederick Joseph and debut author Porsche Joseph make the case for addressing some of the biggest issues of our day
Featuring more than two dozen interviews with prominent activists, authors, actors, and politicians, this is the essential resource for those who want to make the world better than we found it.

Critics Review
-
“Cary Hite and Deanna Anthony sound so in sync with the authors’ message that many listeners will look twice to make sure it isn’t the authors performing. The narrators…provide the panache needed for listeners to absorb these perspectives.”
