ONE LIFE - MEGAN RAPINOE EMMA BROCKES KARTONIER...

Megan Rapinoe  Olympic gold medalist and two-time Women's World Cup champion  has become a
galvanizing force for social change  here  she urges all of us to take up the mantle  with
actions big and small  to continue the fight for justice and equality  Raised in a conservative
small town in Northern California  the youngest of six  Megan Rapinoe was four years old when
she kicked her first soccer ball. Her parents encouraged her love for the game  but taught her
that winning was much less important than how she lived her life. From childhood on  Rapinoe
always did what she could to stand up for what was right-even if it meant going up against
people who disagreed.  In One Life  Rapinoe reflects on the choices she has made  her victories
and her failures  and embarks on a thoughtful and candid discussion of her personal journey
into social justice. Recognizing the power she had to bring attention to critical issues  in
2016 she took a knee during the national anthem in solidarity with former NFL player Colin
Kaepernick to protest racial injustice and police brutality-the first high-profile white
athlete to do so. The backlash was immediate  but it couldn't compare to the overwhelming
support. Rapinoe becaame a force of change  both on and off the field.  Deeply personal and
inspiring  One Life reveals that real  concrete change lies within all of us  and asks: If we
all have the same resource-this one precious life  made up of the decisions we make every
day-what are you going to do?
