Hi All,
Happy spring! Wanted to spread the word about a new book out by Chris Crass, formerly of Catalyst Project, called "Towards Collective Liberation: Anti-Racist Organizing, Feminist Praxis, and Movement Building Strategy". I think it will be full of lessons useful to the sorts of work we were doing together during OWS.
An introduction to the book can be read here. It can be purchased from PM Press here.
An excerpt from the intro:
"Towards Collective Liberation collects and refines some of the most generative of these insights. Drawing on a wealth of experiences—his own and those of other conscious organizers—Crass grapples with the big question that all of us committed to social transformation face: How can we overcome the interconnected systems of oppression and exploitation that structure our society? How can we struggle towards collective liberation? In response, he highlights a relevant radical politics that people are already building as they struggle for justice and dignity. As Crass describes in his opening essay, this is a politics based in grassroots organizing, participatory democracy, coalitional work across differences, creative direct action, organization-building, strategy rooted in vision for a better world, and unapologetic love. At the core of this politics is a profound commitment to building anti-racist, multiracial, feminist, and queer liberationist movements against capitalism."
