In We Will Not Cancel Us, movement mediator adrienne maree brown reframes the discussion for us, in a way that points to possible paths beyond our impasse. Most critiques of cancel culture come from outside the milieus that produce it, sometimes even from its targets. Brown explores the question from a Black, queer, and feminist viewpoint that gently asks, how well does this practice serve us? Does it prefigure the sort of world we want to live in? And, if it doesn’t, how do we seek accountability and redress for harm in ways that reflect our values?

adrienne maree brown is the author of Holding Change; Changing Worlds; Emergent Strategy; co-editor of Octavia's Brood; cohost of podcasts "How to Survive the End of the World" and "Octavia's Parables"; and founder of the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute. We Will Not Cancel Us is part of the Emergent Strategy Series.
