Be A Revolution: How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World—and How You Can, Too by Ijeoma Oluo

hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

thank you so much to @harperone for the advanced copy 🧡

this book provides some answers to the question of “what can i do” in response to systemic racism and oppression. Oluo reminds us that we can be revolutionary in a variety of ways, even if we aren’t in a position to dedicate our entire career to activism. you are not powerless to create change. this book serves as a guide as we engage with the steps needed for the societal changes we need

Oluo asks her readers to consider how our each unique experiences, interests, and privileges can drive the actions we engage in. reading this felt like hope

i thought the chapters on racism in the labor movement/unions, creative arts, and disability were especially poignant and informative
