Gave me something to think about and imparted some really valuable pieces of wisdom. I love that this book is realistic without being cynical. I highly recommend.
My main problem with the book is that it talks a lot about meeting people where they are and how organizers and activists have brought people into movements, but a lot of the book is written at a high reading level and uses terms unfamiliar to the average person without clearly defining them. I think that several entries in the glossary were more confusing than helpful, and that the book would have really benefited from a more extensive one. This probably isn't much of a problem for people who are already involved with the movements the authors organize around. However, the book frequently seems to also be speaking to new activists or people considering becoming activists, so I wish the book's language was a little more friendly to that audience.

“Facts do not mobilize people.”
Let this Radicalize You is a book for organizers and activists. There is a lot of great information but I think the call to share the load and take time off/away before your burnout is particularly salient in these times. I appreciated that there was a call to not waste your time trying to use data to inspire people to action.

Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes are experienced organizers and movement educators. Together, they have written the impeccable Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care. Let This Radicalize You concretely goes over organizing strategies to both utilize and avoid. The book will also encourage many to experience a paradigm shift about what is necessary for organization and what mind sets are the most and least helpful for organization.
Written clearly and effectively, Let This Radicalize You is vital reading for the current moment as well as for the future. Do not let this title pass you by.
This book reinvigorated me and my commitments to organizing. It filled me up and reframed the struggle to fighting for something and not only fighting against something. Favorite quote: “what are you building, to whom are you accountable?”
