Calling all co-strugglers who are new to movement work! Join us for a four-session exploration of a new classic of organizing, LET THIS RADICALIZE YOU. Come curious, and ready to commit to one another and the struggle of our lifetimes. Spots are limited.

What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes' LET THIS RADICALIZE YOU is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe.

Over four Saturday sessions, we will study, journal, and reflect together, with the goal of plugging into the important organizing networks that fuel movement work in Baltimore.

Session 3: Chapter 6: "Violence" is Social Movements Chapter 7: Don't Pedestal Organizers Chapter 8: Hope and Grief Can Co-Exist

Session 4: Chapter 9: Organizing Isn't Matchmaking Chapter 10: Avoiding Burnout and Going the Distance Conclusion: Relationships, Reciprocity, and Struggle, Kelly Hayes Conclusion: Beyond Doom, toward Collective Action, Mariame Kaba Afterward: Movements Make Life, Harsha Walia
