Glimmer of Hope: How Tragedy Sparked a Movement (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781984836090)

Glimmer of Hope is the official, definitive book from The March for Our Lives founders, who came together in the aftermath of one of the deadliest mass-shootings in American history to lead an ongoing movement to end gun violence in all communities.

Glimmer of Hope illustrates how a group of teenagers channeled their rage and sorrow into action and went on to create one of the largest youth-led movements in global history. With personal essays from survivors and a close look at how their collective activism turned conversation into action -- via rallies, social media postings, televised town halls, voter registration drives, and ultimately a march on Washington to mobilize for national reform -- Glimmer of Hope offers a roadmap for meaningful, youth-led change.

"Glimmer of Hope provides a blueprint for launching social change."--NPR.org
*A Seventeen Magazine Best Book of 2018*
"This is a clarion call to action for teens, by teens, and is moving and powerful."--Booklist, Starred Review
