78 Acts of Liberation reimagines the Tarot deck as seventy-eight doorways into transformation, both personal and collective. Smith invites readers to examine each card through the lenses of power and freedom, revealing how hidden forces shape our lives and communities. After revisiting Tarot's overlooked history, Smith organizes the cards by number, linking each to a specific action—such as Ones as Initiation or Tens as Generation—and provides prompts for reflection and ideas for real-world engagement. The Major Arcana connect to movements such as the Water Protectors and #MeToo, while the Minor Arcana focus on everyday tools and practices for meaningful change. At its heart, the book calls us to align with our values, endure the hard work of justice, and remember that, as Smith writes, "Truth alone will not set us free. We have to act on it."
