Don’t Wait:
Three Girls Who Fought for Change and Won
Girls of color have always been on the front lines of the fight for equal rights—to vote, to learn, to live—even when they are the last to benefit from the outcomes of their work. In Don’t Wait, journalist Sonali Kohli follows three teenagers’ efforts to make their communities safer, healthier places.
Don’t Wait, published by Beacon Press on June 4, 2024, highlights what propelled the teenagers into their activism to their experiences organizing and incorporates Q&As with important lessons from activists who have led the way.
As the young women transition from teen to adult activists, Don’t Wait reflects the powerful lessons they’ve learned in their activism while building movements in their communities that will continue to live on as they move forward.
Don’t Wait is sold anywhere you find books, and is available as a paperback, e-book and audio book!
