Calling all co-strugglers who are new to movement work! Join us for a four-session exploration of a new classic of organizing, LET THIS RADICALIZE YOU. Come curious, and ready to commit to one another and the struggle of our lifetimes. Spots are limited.
What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes' LET THIS RADICALIZE YOU is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe.
