This book is such a critically vital work of text, especially as society (in particular American society) begins to drift more and more toward revolution and systems of mutual aid. Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba provide incredible insights into their experience in organizing, addressing ways in which we can be in full community with one another. Their instructions are clear and nuanced, easily accessible to those who are new to organizing.
Each chapter touches on different building blocks of organizing, from mutual aid to reciprocity to mass protest, and it really feels like Hayes and Kaba leave no stone unturned in their teachings. I especially loved the way that they address different dualities within organizing, such as how hope and grief can exist concurrently, how blocking users are a valid way of handling online discourse, and how to have conversations with organizers who hold different viewpoints from your own. I did feel like some of the pieces of writing in this book felt a little disordered in the audiobook format, I wanted a little bit more clear cut denotations between chapters, between interviews, between different pieces of writing, all of which would have helped listeners in gauging topic changes within the writing.
But all in all, I really enjoyed reading this book; I feel like this expands further on Angela Davis's and other Black revolutionaries writings, extrapolating teachings into how to organize and hold community in the modern age amidst the onset of the internet and social media. I definitely will be seeking out a physical copy of this book at some point, particularly for the immensely informational appendixes on how to deal with the aftermaths of violent police suppression of organizing efforts.
