Imagine If
A Handbook for Activists

This is a must read book for both the young and old activist; whether they wish to improve services or change attitudes in human rights, community development, health, sport, arts or make a difference on a global, national or local level. It clearly and succinctly sets out steps necessary for activists to achieve their objectives in a manner which supports the values of social justice, humanity and sustainability. Providing guidelines on how to work towards solutions, the book encourages readers to act, and to act now, without burn-out or loss of one’s sense of humour.

Written by Joy Noble, a social worker and author awarded an AM for her work in volunteering, and Fiona Verity, a lecturer at Flinders University, the book reflects the authors' shared passion and enthusiasm for translating ideas into action, and in urging individuals to make a difference.

Format: 148 x 210 mm, 56 pages, paperback

"Arundhati Roy... said that '... when you have seen a great moral wrong, to remain silent is as much a political statement as to act against it'. This is the truth which inspires the activist. With that truth, and this book, no challenge is beyond reach."
from the preface by Julian Burnside QC

"As a young Australian, I have many ideas and opinions, but have not known how to express them. This handbook shows me how to make my voice heard."
