Since he was twelve, Zach Hunter has led a revolution, mobilizing students to end slavery in their generation. And four years since the first publication of Be the Change, he's still making a difference. This newly updated and expanded edition is written for teens who want to impact the world in a big way. It's a call to action that has resonated with today's young people. Zach centers his call to social action on ending the trade of human beings around the globe. Today, an estimated 27 million people are in slavery, meaning there are more humans in bondage now than in the 400 years of the transatlantic slave trade. Many of these slaves are teen-aged or younger-a reality that hits too close to home for concerned teens.

In this revised version, Zach features new stories of emerging abolitionists, relates an update on his organization, Loose Change to Loosen Chains, and ultimately provides inspirational and practical tools to ignite passion and action in his readers.
