Drawing on the black feminist tradition, she challenges us to rethink the ground rules of activism. Her mindset-altering essays are interwoven with conversations and insights from other feminist thinkers, including Audre Lorde, Joan Morgan, Cara Page, Sonya Renee Taylor, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs. Together they cover a wide array of subjects—from sex work to climate change, from race and gender to sex and drugs—building new narratives about how politics can feel good and how what feels good always has a complex politics of its own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e[[[More Info]]]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eadrienne maree brown is the author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHolding Change; Changing Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e; \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEmergent Strategy;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e co-editor of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOctavia's Brood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e; cohost of podcasts \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow to Survive the End of the World\" and \"Octavia's Parables\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e; and founder of the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute. \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe Will Not Cancel Us\u003c\/i\u003e is part of the Emergent Strategy Series.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"picture of adrienne maree brown\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1064\/2364\/files\/adriennemareebrown_480x480.jpg?v=1691771437\" width=\"293\" height=\"293\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[[[Specifications]]]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 75.7218%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 75.7218%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 29%;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 17px; width: 29%;\"\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 58.1978%;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 17px; width: 58.1978%;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 29%;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 17px; width: 29%;\"\u003ePages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 58.1978%;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 17px; width: 58.1978%;\"\u003e280\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 29%;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 17px; width: 29%;\"\u003eYear Published\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 58.1978%;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 17px; width: 58.1978%;\"\u003e2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 29%;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 17px; width: 29%;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 58.1978%;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 17px; width: 58.1978%;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/venusenvy.ca\/collections\/emergent-strategy-series\" title=\"Link to Emergent Strategy series collection\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEmergent Strategy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AK Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13291391909987,"sku":"9781849353267","price":35.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1064\/2364\/files\/Pleasure-Activism.jpg?v=1689809847"},{"product_id":"the-body-is-not-an-apology","title":"The Body is Not an Apology","description":"\u003cp\u003eHumans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies.

Saving Our Own Lives, an anthology of essays from long-time organizer Shira Hassan, fills this gap by telling the stories of how sex workers, BIPOC, queer folks, trans, gender non-conforming, and two-spirit people are - and have been - building systems of change and support outside the societal frameworks of oppression and exploitation. This is a collective story of trans women of colour, who were sex workers and radical political organizers, who created shared housing to ensuret hat young people had safe places to sleep. It is the story of clean syringes \"liberated\" from empathetic doctors' offices by activists who were punk women of colour who distributed them among injection drug users in squats in the East Village, and the early AIDS activists who made sure that everyone knew how to use them. It is the story of Black Panthers and the Young Lords taking over Lincoln Park Hospital in the Bronx to demand and ultimately create community-accessible drug treatment programs; and of bad date sheets passed between sex workers in Portland, who created a data collection tool that changed how prison abolitionists track systemic violence.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt a political moment when Liberatory Harm Reduction and mutual aid are more important than ever, this book serves as an inspiration and a catalyst for radical transformation of our world.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[[[More Info]]]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShira Hassan is the founder of Just Practice, a capacity building project for organizations and community members, activists and leaders working at the intersection of transformative justice, harm reduction and collective liberation.

What’s more, she could not ignore the ways that alcohol companies were targeting women, just as the tobacco industry had successfully done generations before. Fueled by her own emerging feminism, she also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people—who don’t need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives. When Holly found an alternate way out of her own addiction, she felt a calling to create a sober community with resources for anyone questioning their relationship with drinking, so that they might find their way as well. Her resultant feminine-centric recovery program focuses on getting at the root causes that lead people to overindulge and provides the tools necessary to break the cycle of addiction, showing us what is possible when we remove alcohol and destroy our belief system around it.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWritten in a relatable voice that is honest and witty, Quit Like a Woman is at once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol in order to live our best lives without the crutch of intoxication.

The evidence is the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited—that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. It Didn’t Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score . Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died, or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on.

Diagnostic self-inventories provide a way to uncover the fears and anxieties conveyed through everyday words, behaviors, and physical symptoms. Techniques for developing a genogram or extended family tree create a map of experiences going back through the generations. And visualization, active imagination, and direct dialogue create pathways to reconnection, integration, and reclaiming life and health.
