Lisa has spent her life working with people to understand the dynamics of power and has helped thousands gain the experience and skills they need to fight for justice. In her new book, Shut It Down: Stories from a Fierce, Loving Resistance, Lisa shares behind-the-scenes stories from some of the most important people-powered movements of the past several decades. She argues that movements that embrace direct action have always been, and continue to be, the most radical and rapid means for transforming our society.
