“Katie’s book comes at a critical time when the worlds of advocacy and community are colliding with individuals’ online presence. I think it’s a must-read for folks interested in digital advocacy. But really, it's a crucial conversation for anyone working to create a true impact between their digital profiles and neighborhood community.”
–– Heather Balogh Rochfort, award-winning adventure writer
“The more time we spend online, the easier it can feel to slide into binary ways of thinking: indoors or outside, burnout or sign off, advocate or give up. In the face of all that, Boué’s On Digital Advocacy is a refreshing invitation to breathe and get curious about the things that matter most to us. And along the way, Boué generously grants us the tools we need to make a real difference—all delivered with her trademark gusto and grace.”
— Gale Straub, Author of She Explores: Stories of Life-Changing Adventures on the Road and in the Wild
“I looked up Outdoor Advocacy in the dictionary. It said: Katie Boué. From being a creative force behind signature campaigns (Vote the Outdoors) to demonstrating how advocacy can be part of a lifestyle (Outdoor Advocacy Project) and more (oh, so much more!), Katie has been a beacon to me when it comes to advocacy work in and for the outdoors. And now she has it in book form, providing a how-to and why-to grounded in her depth of expertise and lived experience. But one thing that Katie deeply embodies and which I respect and admire is the growth-oriented process that is crucial to this work and that keeps our humanity centered as we fight for people and planet in ways that do not destructively consume us. Because we have enough “doom and gloom,” we need more “do and bloom” that activates individual action in relation to our communities so we can thrive. And Katie offers us that. So do yourself a favor and read On Advocacy: Protecting the Planet While Preserving Our Humanity. Y gracias, Katie, for your palabras.”
