      This book will help you to change the things in the world that shock you. Or even just annoy you. There is no issue too big or too small that YOU are not able to change. It might take time. It will take a lot of work. But every step we can take to make the world a better place is worth it.

      How do I know? I ran a successful campaign that ended the hugely unfair ‘tampon tax’. That’s right, I said tampon. Don’t be shy. I even made the prime minister say the word ‘tampon’ out loud in Parliament (for the first time in its 800-year history). More on the tampon tax campaign later, but the upshot is: if I can do it, you can too.

      There are many issues to feel passionate about. Maybe your local park is being sold off for fancy houses. Maybe your school doesn’t offer food for vegans. Maybe you want world peace (don’t we all?). Big or small, you can make a difference, but it can be hard to know where to start. So I’ve written this book to help you change your world.

      Before I started my campaign, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t have training, I don’t have any campaigning superpowers or global politician parents to help me. I’m really pretty ordinary. If I can do it, so can you, by using my fIVE-STEP TOOLkIT for change.

      This book outlines the key steps you need to take to change the world. Together we will get specific

      about your goals (sTeP ONE) and get focused on who to target (sTeP TWO). I’ll show you how to be smart with your research (sTeP tHrEE) and get creative with your platforms
