Thoughts
I got this months ago from The Feminist Bookclub and I am glad I finally got to it after the election. I think like many I was/am feeling a bit defeated. But this book really helped put things into perspective.
It is a reminder that change does not happen quickly. But the little seeds that are planted do take root. And even if it is on a small scale it is helping.
So, I'll keep donating where I can, I'll keep text banking, sending post cards, and sharing news. I'll keep educating my family and friends. Because the work doesn't stop even when we feel defeated. But I also know it is okay to breathe and take care as well.

I think this book is a perfect example of the importance of centering community in an organizing effort. It also extends far beyond the walls of police and prison and the lessons in it anyone can learn from. In a sense, it’s a meditation on what it means to live life as an organizing and an inspiration and path for people like me who are young and understand the importance but don’t know where to start.
One of the most important aspects of it is that people are already doing the work to build a better society. This is something capitalist powers don’t want us to think is true, creating more despair instead of focusing on the radical
practice of hope. Someone is already doing it or has done it in the past in your town, city, rural area or community. That’s inspiring and uplifting to understand.

Absolutely incredible collection of real-lived experiences from organizers for a better world is tied together with the wisdom from Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes. This book is an inspiring text that provides a valuable resource for organizing a revolution and resistance effort- an anti-fascist way of life. The life promoted in this book is one that prioritizes the lives of all those living not just a select few, especially holding space for those most marginalized among us. There are many things we CAN do to provide reciprocal care and assistance towards justice in this unjust world. Reciprocal care is one where we take care of each other and those most vulnerable while doing the work necessary to create a better tomorrow for those we leave the world behind for. It helped me figure out how I want to fit in to the anti-fascist community as an artist, too. I highly recommend reading it!
