\u201cLift Us Up, Don\u2019t Push Us Out! is a bold and exciting book that presents the stories we never hear — powerful stories of successful grassroots organizing in schools and communities across the nation led by parents, students, educators, and allies. The lessons we can learn from these inspiring activists and campaigns need to be spread far and wide.\u201d<\/p>\n
