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.
