People who believe in social change and social justice celebrate the holidays too, and giving them a present that reflects their values will be the most meaningful gift of all. From board games to books, shirts, art prints, and more, there are a ton of gift ideas below – all of them about making the world a better place!
Board Games
Who doesn’t love a good game night? Luckily – not every board game has to be about launching wars or ripping off your friends. These games are about fighting to make the world a better place.
Space Cats Fight Fascism
Space Cats Fight Fascism: The Board Game is exactly what it sounds like. You play as a band of rebel cats trying to stop fascists from taking over the galaxy! Lead the feline resistance to stop the fascist Rat Pack from seizing power – while building a new galaxy where all species are free together.
In Rise Up: The Game of People & Power, players use cards like “Massive March,” “Protest Song,” and “Building Community” to launch a campaign to bring about the change they want to see in the world.
Two versions come in the box: a strategy version for game nights, and a simplified version for young kids and educational settings!
In Co-opoly: The Game of Cooperatives, players work together to launch a cooperative and strive for economic justice in their community. Everyone wins or loses together!
