Alicia Garza

A lifelong activist who educated herself on the hard lessons of organizing, the lessons she extracted were different from the "rules for radicals" or from the charismatic, patriarchal model of the American Civil Rights Movement. She developed a mode of organizing based on creating deep connections with communities, forging multiracial, intersectional coalitions, and, most of all, calling in all sorts of people to join the fight for the world we all deserve. This is a guide for anyone who wants to share in that education and help build sustainable movements for the 21st century at any level, whether you're fighting for housing justice in your community or advocating for a political candidate or marching in the streets or just voting. -- adapted from publisher info

How We Come Together When We Fall Apart

The Purpose of Power

ame 

Hope is not the absence of despair-it is the ability to come back to our purpose, again and again. My purpose is to build political power for my community so that we can be powerful in every aspect of our lives. My work is to transform grief and despair and rage into the love that we need to push us forward. I an not, and we are not, defined by what we lackwe are defined by how we come together when we fall apart.
