""This book is a parent's trusted companion through roiling political waters, and just in time. A skillful, urgent, and loving intervention."" —Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger ""This isn't just a great way to raise kids but a great way of thinking about how we raise ourselves to be fully human beings in a world increasingly programmed to prevent it. This sort of resistance isn’t futile—it's necessary."" —Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human ""There is an alternative to the abysmal outcome many of us fear; this book provides part of the map to get there."" —Michelle Cassandra Johnson, antiracism teacher and author of The Wisdom of the Hive ""Antifascist Dad reminds us that it begins both with ourselves and at home with our kids. This is how we deepen bonds and start to uproot fascism from our worlds, hopefully for good."" —carla joy bergman, editor of Trust Kids! and coauthor of Joyful Militancy ""Nuanced, accessible, culturally attuned, and warm, this invaluable guide from Matthew Remski shows us how everyday antifascism is not only necessary but eminently possible."" —Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook ""Beautifully written and painfully necessary ... essential reading for everyone who fears for the future our children are growing up into—not only as a guide to parenting through the crisis but also for our ability to understand the crisis ourselves."" —Benjamin S. Case, author of Street Rebellion ""An unflinching analysis of the ways fascist tactics and rhetoric have become the norm in the male influencer industry and practical ways to provide other models, to talk with young people, and generally to decode the messages that are enveloping all of us, all the time.... One gets the impression that they are reading an author whose ferocious tenderness will help us find a way forward marked by flourishing and wonder rather than aggression and reduction. I can't recommend it enough."" —Brad Onishi, scholar of Christian nationalism and cohost of the Straight White American Jesus podcast
