Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care
Kelly Hayes (Author) Mariame Kaba (Author)
“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.”
