What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe. Longtime organizers and movement educators Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes examine some of the political lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the convergence of mass protest and mass formations of mutual aid, and consider what this confluence of power can teach us about a future that will require mass acts of care, rescue and defense, in the face of both state violence and environmental disaster. The book is an assemblage of co-authored reflections, interviews and questions that are intended to aid and empower activists and organizers as they attempt to map their own journeys through the work of justice-making. It includes insights from a spectrum of experienced organizers, including Sharon Lungo, Carlos Saavedra, Ejeris Dixon, Barbara Ransby, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore about some of the difficult and joyous lessons they have learned in their work.

I wish I read this some years ago when I got into community organising. An excellent primer for activists and organisers.

if you loved fugitive feminism by akwugo emejulu or anything by angela y. davis, you are going to enjoy this read.

this helped me out of my reading slump for just how moving, thought-provoking and inspiring it was. i feel like this was written to ignite fire in each mind of its readers. easy to digest essays and narrations on specific fundamental issues around mass movements, all with relevant examples and stories from pre-existing and occurring struggles. it's been quite long since i took this much notes after reading a book. it's been a while since i could feel enraged and hopeful  simultaneously because of a book.
