'This is mindful activism . . . thought-out, strategic and engaging' Guardian

'I love what Sarah does! It's quiet activism for everyone including introverts' Jon Ronson

'Sarah Corbett mixes an A-grade mind with astonishing creativity and emotional awareness' Lucy Siegle

If we want a world that is beautiful, kind and fair, shouldn't our activism be beautiful, kind and fair?

Award-winning campaigner and founder of the global Craftivist Collective Sarah Corbett shows how to respond to injustice not with apathy or aggression, but with gentle, effective protest.

This is a manifesto – for a more respectful and contemplative activism; for conversation and collaboration where too often these is division and conflict; for using craft to engage, empower and encourage us all to be the change we wish to see in the world.

Sarah's craftivism has helped change laws and business policies as well as hearts and minds; here, with thoughtful principles and practical examples, she shows that quiet action can speak as powerfully as the loudest voice.
