Save It for Later - by Nate Powell

Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency of Protest is a powerful collection of graphic nonfiction essays by Nate Powell that explores living in a new era of necessary protest.

Through seven interwoven comics essays, Powell reflects on witnessing the collapse of discourse in real time while drawing the award-winning March trilogy and highlights the danger of normalized paramilitary presence symbols in consumer pop culture.

The book also explores the roles we play individually as we interact with our communities, families, and society at large.

Powell's journey from the night of the 2016 presidential election to the reality of the authoritarian presidency, protesting the administration's policies, and navigating the complications of teaching his children how to raise their own voices in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous and more and more polarized is documented.

The book also includes "About Face," a comics essay first published by Popula Online that swiftly went viral and inspired Powell to expand his work on Save It for Later.

This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the current political era and how to equip young people with tools to make their own noise in shaping the direction and future of this country.
