Fandom can save the world!
This first of its kind, actionable and inspirational resource provides the tools and motivation necessary for pop culture fans to make a difference-while having fun!
Fandoms are united as a community because of the power of story. And it's exactly the magical alchemy forged when mixing story and community that has helped fandoms across the world feed thousands of hungry children, donate countless books, build schools, register voters, disrupt online hate speech, and save lives through crafting PPE for COVID-19 frontline workers, natural disaster response, and mental health crisis support.
Fandom Acts of Kindness not only tells the stories of the good fans have done in the world but serves as a dungeon master's guide to how to be a hero yourself. Perfect for those who want to inspire others, organize collective action, sustain, and nurture your own mental health and creativity, and do it all through a pop culture perspective.
