The text ‘How To Think Like An Activist’ written by Wendy Syfret is informative and detailed text about Activism. This is a great text for aspiring activist that want to be more hands on and or create a movement. Syfret gives many points on why a unplanned movement doesn’t work as best as ones that were planned strategically. I believe this text can also be used as a guide book for many aspiring activists because it gives different ideas and educates how modern technology can be used to inform the youth who are the ones who are the center of these movements. It also educates us on many different movements that have happened and how modern points mentioned in the text can be applied to past movements. Activism as a whole is when someone uses their voice to face issues within the community.

This text can be tied back to ‘ Knock down the house’ featuring AOC. Many people voted for her because she was a voice from the community. She knew what the people around her wanted the most and the issues in her community because SHE lives in the community. She was more able to plan her movement around her experiences living in the same community as her voters. She can be the new modern voice in the house as well as being a person of color and a women brings a new perspective on the floor. The issues that many everyday Americans face are troubles that rich white men will never experience and don’t understand unlike her.
