I can’t remember the name or figure out what to search to find it, but there was a book I picked up in early high school that really changed the way I think about protests.
Most of the main characters were LGBT, which was incredibly refreshing to me, and were actively being oppressed by their school staff and local police force. It was the first time I’d ever heard about zip-tie handcuffs and tear gas being used against peaceful protesters. It wasn’t the most well written book but demonstrated all types of discrimination and oppression that I’d never even thought about before at that point in my life
Edit: Anger is a Gift was the name of it
Both, I’m sure I could make a new account if I wanted but I don’t want to contribute to their dumpster fire of a website anymore anyway
