Everyday Action, Everyday Change

It’s really hard to know what to do when you’re faced with bullying and discriminatory actions – whether they’re targeted at you or toward someone else. How do you stand up to someone who is being nasty or ignorant? Natalie and Naomi Evans know just what that feels like, so they’ve written this book to help.

Covering racism, sexism, ableism and more, Everyday Action, Everyday Change is all about how to handle different forms of discrimination, with practical advice and tips on what to do (or what not to do) when faced with a challenging situation. Taking a conversational approach, everything is discussed in a positive and friendly way, making it both relatable and accessible. They’ve included lots of real-life stories and where the authors themselves don’t have lived experience of a situation, they’ve spoken to those who do, ensuring the book is really inclusive and issues are discussed in a sensitive way.

An empowering book that’s useful both for those experiencing discrimination and for anyone who wants to know how to be a better advocate. Great for supporting the development of empathy too, as the stories included show different people’s experiences and thus offer new perspectives on people’s everyday lives.
