I think whether you are new to activism and organizing or are returning after a break, there is a lot of useful practical information here. It‘s not a “how-to,” exactly, but the authors share lessons that show how organizing works in the day-to-day, showing you how it‘s not about heroism but rather that it‘s an action anyone can do when we prioritize interdependence and connection.

One of the most meaningful, empowering, and visionary books I‘ve read in some time. It was in part a call to action re: 2016, so it‘s….super relevant. Valarie Kaur is an important voice for right now, and always. Looking forward to reading her recently published book soon (tagged in comment ⬇️).

This book was an assignment in my Master‘s program, and I‘m grateful for it. May everyone who reads it have the opportunity to discuss and mull it over with trusted peers. This book has been in my heart and brain, now is the time to heal.

I‘m finding strength in people that are prepared to fight (civil rights organizations, the ACLU, women‘s rights groups, etc). I‘m hoping that as a family we‘ll fair the storm but it‘s also scary. My husband is now a government contractor & he has funding for the next 4 years but no one in the government really knows what to prepare for right now. My oldest is a wildlife biologist major & he is fearful for his future, the environment. He said all

ncsufoxes His professors are wrecked & devastated. My 15 year old is Autistic, so I know that there will probably be cuts to everything for him. I also have a daughter that dreams of being an astronaut but I‘m scared for her as a female. I‘m sad & scared for so many other people & families that I know are facing much scarier possibilities right now. It‘s just sad & frustrating that we are at this point again. We know what to expect but we don‘t know what 4w

dabbe We have to mourn, rage, mourn, rage .... and then regroup and fight the GOOD fight. It may be trite, but I love what Samwise Gamgee saysL “A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.” 🤎🧡🧡 4w
