You are warmly invited to our next book group discussion where we will be sharing our views about 'Let This Radicalize You' by Kelly Hayes and Mariam Kaba.
What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our
worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical and
imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an
era of destabilization and catastrophe.
Longtime organizers and
movement educators Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes examine some of the
political lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the convergence of
mass protest and mass formations of mutual aid, and consider what this
confluence of power can teach us about a future that will require mass
acts of care, rescue and defense, in the face of both state violence and
environmental disaster.
The book is an assemblage of co-authored
reflections, interviews and questions that are intended to aid and
empower activists and organizers as they attempt to map their own
journeys through the work of justice-making. It includes insights from a
spectrum of experienced organizers, including Sharon Lungo, Carlos
Saavedra, Ejeris Dixon, Barbara Ransby, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore about
some of the difficult and joyous lessons they have learned in their
work.
