This Bridge has allowed us to define the promise of research on race, gender, class and sexuality as profoundly linked to collaboration and coalition-building. And perhaps most important, it has offered us strategies for transformative political practice that are as valid today as they were two decades ago.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8212; Angela Davis, University of California, Santa Cruz<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Shopping for Books?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">You can support Charleston Good &amp; local bookstores by shopping via <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/shop\/charlestongood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our store at BookShop.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><script src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\" data-type=\"search\" data-include-branding=\"false\" data-affiliate-id=\"19618\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>FIND THIS NEWSLETTER USEFUL?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Feel free to share it with a friend!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/charlestongood.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CharlestonGood.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#goodsharing #collaborating4change #chsvolunteers #changemakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25986 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Changemakers-Digest-2023-10.jpg\" alt=\"Changemakers-Digest-2023-10\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Changemakers-Digest-2023-10.jpg 700w, https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Changemakers-Digest-2023-10-300x171.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/400;\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the 2023 Changemakers Weekly Digest!
