Although I don't generally do audiobooks for a variety of reasons, I bought this book years ago using an audible credit that I somehow earned. I wish that I had listened to this book when I bought it - it would have had more meaning for me and less overthinking about current events and controversy with the author. With that in mind, I removed a star because I can't "love" this knowing the reality and questioning in my mind. But regardless, as hopeless as I felt listening to statistics, this book gives me hope that people like me can make changes. Albeit small, I can start something. It's ironic, painful even, that I write this after finishing a chapter that focused on a 2016 Trump presidency as we look into a 2025 Trump presidency.

Hope is waning, but I will not allow myself to fall victim to complacency.
