SUMMARY:Ijeoma Oluo presents "Be a Revolution: How Everyday People Are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World—and How You Can Too" in conversation w/Michaela Brown
DESCRIPTION:From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of So You Want to Talk About Race and Mediocre\, an eye-opening and galvanizing look at the current state of anti-racist activism across America.\nIn BE A REVOLUTION: How Everyday People Are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World—and How You Can Too (HarperOne; 1/9/24) Ijeoma Oluo\, #1 New York Times bestseller of So You Want to Talk About Race and Mediocre\, offers an eye opening\, accessible guide to anti-racist activism. Showcasing the leaders who work every day to create systemic change in America\, Oluo gives a voice to specific community leaders\, providing space for them to share their stories and offer honest wisdom. \nOluo interviewed over 30 movement workers across the US. Looking at many of our most powerful systems—education\, media\, labor\, health\, housing\, policing\, and more—she highlights what people are doing to create change for intersectional racial equity. She illustrates various ways in which people can find entryways into change in these same areas or can bring some of this important work being done elsewhere to where they live. This book is educational and will inspire action and change and it will take our conversations on race and racism out of a place of pure pain and trauma\, and into a place of loving action. \nWith an emphasis on intersectionality in all forms of activism\, Oluo provides a critical analysis of the systemic institutions that govern society. Oluo stresses the need for abolition\, the fight for freedom. The need to look to the root cause of social issues and the belief in collective responsibility for those issues. \n“Oluo offers us a reset\, a starting point\, a clear way forward.” —dream hampton \nIjeoma Oluo is a writer\, speaker\, and internet yeller.

SUMMARY:Beehive Design Collective presents "Mesoamérica Resiste" and "The True Cost of Coal"
DESCRIPTION:A swarm is coming! The Beehive Design Collective\, a non-profit arts and activism organization dedicated to “cross-pollinating the grassroots\,” is heading this way to share their recently completed works.\nMESOAMÉRICA RESISTE is an epic project that took nine years to complete! This is the third and final installment in the Beehive’s trilogy on globalization in the Americas. The intricate\, double-sided image documents resistance to the top-down development plans and mega-infrastructure projects that literally pave the way for resource extraction and free trade. We highlight stories of cross-border grassroots social movements and collective action\, especially organizing led by Indigenous peoples. \nWhile focusing on stories from Mexico and Central America\, the Bees will weave a much larger narrative about ways people are fighting back against a global economy based on colonialism\, land grabs\, and exploitation\, and building alternative economies\, all over the globe. This graphics campaign also celebrates cultural and ecological diversity through a cast of characters that includes hundreds of endemic (and endangered) species of insects\, animals\, and plants. \nTHE TRUE COST OF COAL graphic uses mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia as a lens through which to understand the historical and contemporary story of energy and resource extraction. With a gigantic portable mural teeming with intricate images of plants and animals from the most biodiverse temperate forest on the planet\, the Bees will share (and seek) stories of how mountaintop removal coal mining affects communities and ecosystems throughout Appalachia and beyond. \nTHE TRUE COST OF COAL examines all of our connections to coal\, while celebrating stories of struggle from mountain communities. The last chapter of the story also looks to the future\, raising questions about alternatives\, remediation\, and regeneration. \nThe Beehive is an all-volunteer swarm of educators\, artists\, and activists using images to communicate and educate about the complex realities of our times. The dizzyingly detailed\, hand-drawn\, large-format posters and banners they tour with are portable murals that come alive through storytelling\, illuminating how single issues are interconnected and part of bigger systems. Join in as the Bees deconstruct often overwhelming global issues in an engaging and interactive presentation\, using metaphors from the natural world to connect social and environmental struggles. \nThe Beehive depends on grassroots fundraising and individual donations to sustain this unique approach to activism! Posters and patches of graphics will be available for purchase by sliding scale donation. For more information\, visit www.beehivecollective.org.
