Let this radicalize you : organizing and the revolution of reciprocal care

Let this radicalize you Organizing and the revolution of reciprocal care

Kelly E. Hayes, 1968-

Book - 2023

"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 intended to aid and empower activists and organizers as they attempt to map thei...r own journeys through the work of justice-making."--Provided by publisher.
