DISABILITY VISIBILITY<\/strong>
First-person stories from the 21st Century<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A groundbreaking and powerful collection of essays that feature the insights and voices of 37 disabled people \u2013 showcasing, sharing, and documenting disability culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the ADA celebrates its 30th anniversary, we look beyond that historic legislation to the present and future of the disability justice movement. And it is clear we have work to do. These essays are powerful and personal reminders that disability justice is civil rights, it\u2019s climate change, it\u2019s social justice and equity work, it\u2019s health care and education, it\u2019s community, it\u2019s criminal justice reform and abolition \u2014 it is everything<\/em><\/strong>. We don\u2019t move forward towards equity and liberation and progress without awareness of and accountability to the disability justice movement, and to the 61 million Americans living with a disability. This book is a manifesto of power and love, of independence and freedom, of being seen and understood, and most importantly, of demanding better. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

BEGIN AGAIN<\/strong>
James Baldwin\u2019s America and Its Urgent Lessons for our Own<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been here before: For James Baldwin, his after times<\/em> came in the wake of the civil rights movement, when a similar attempt to compel a national confrontation with the truth was answered with the murders of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Fred Hampton and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this book, we travel through time through a James Baldwin lens. Using Baldwin\u2019s history and his words, Eddie S. Glaude transports us back 50-ish years to a time that sadly does not feel unfamiliar to our current moment. Through Baldwin\u2019s reflections and witness to his own time, we are given a map to understanding our own after times<\/em> and the actions we must take. Writer Kiese Laymon nails it, \u201cBegin Again<\/em> is a rugged literary miracle. In evocative prose, Glaude showed me how we might use the unexceptional yet brutal nightmare of Trumpism to not simply better understand the work and life of James Baldwin, but how that discovery must lead us as people to \u2018begin again\u2019 and walk collectively toward actual liberation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

MAKING SPACES SAFER<\/strong>
A Guide to Giving Harassment the Boot Wherever You Work, Play, and Gather<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In continuing our efforts to both think about and work towards access, safety, inclusion, and engagement in our own space and in the larger art\/culture\/music scene, we dove into this book (written in 2018) to see glean more perspective, actionable steps, and resources. In the wake of the recent fall of Burger Records and the associated scene, and with the current and long-overdue reckoning in cultural spheres underway, it has become abundantly clear that art\/music communities, bands\/performers, venues \u2013 all of us \u2013 MUST do better. While this book is not an end all\/be all guide (it\u2019s interesting to note how much has truly changed in just a couple years), it\u2019s a great resource, as well as a detailed and radical call for our communities (not just the survivors) to take power back from harassers and abusers without involving police or other authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

POCKET CHANGE COLLECTIVE BOOK SERIES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today\u2019s leading activists and artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This series was \u201cborn out of a need for space. Space to think. Space to connect.

In these books, today\u2019s leading activists and artists share their stories, spark conversation, and capture the narrative of what activism, particularly youth activism, looks like today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAKE TIME FOR CREATIVITY<\/strong>

As we attempt to ease back into a \u201cnew normal\u201d post-COVID world \u2013 marred by intense anxiety, trauma, and stress of the current moment \u2013 it seems clear that for many of us, our heads and our hearts need help.
