Editorial Reviews of The Dandelion Insurrection - Love and Revolution -- by Rivera Sun
“Close your eyes and imagine the force of the people and the power of love overcoming the force of greed and the love of power. Then read The Dandelion Insurrection. In a world where despair has deep roots, The Dandelion Insurrection bursts forth with joyful abandon.”
~ Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CodePink
“…not only make you want to change the world, it will remind you that you can.”
~ Gayle Brandeis, author of The Book of Dead Birds, winner of the Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction
“The Dandelion Insurrection is an updated, more accurate, less fantastical Brave NewWorld or 1984.”
~ David Swanson, journalist, author, peace activist
“...a beautifully written book just like the dandelion plant itself, punching holes through the concert of corporate terror, and inviting all to join in the insurrection.”
~ Keith McHenry, co-founder of the Food Not Bombs Movement
“Let's all join and have our own Dandelion Insurrection, I give the book 7 gold stars...and a huge Right On Sister!”
~ Joe Hock, OWS, March Against Monsanto
