Susan Says:

Articulate, provocative booklet that, "explores the reasons why young people should be decision makers, details the oppression that keeps them from being actively involved, and offers various tips and exercises that can help both young people and adults think strategically about ending young people's oppression." Challenge yourself to end "adultism" – after this guide opens your eyes to it.

Brief Excerpt
Adults and young people who support youth involvement have done an excellent job of talking about these ideas in our schools, at work and whenever we get a chance. Now is the time to take this movement public and address it like racism and sexism. Some people will disagree and feel uncomfortable about the movement to raise awareness about the oppression of young people. But keep this in mind when doubts overshadow your beliefs: people have had objections to every major liberation movement throughout history, and ending adultism is no different. (p. 2)
