Join us on August 16th to get to meet new books that will become your new friends
About this Event

At a time when President Trump and the National Guard are invading LA, beating and kidnapping Latinx men, women, and children, and other oppressed peoples, and racially profiling Black people, we need a united resistance.

Organizing must be on the frontlines and in the realm of ideas. Afrocentric, anti-imperialist Revolutionary books of resistance give the movement a longer historical frame and a greater sense of hope.

Join us on August 16th to get to meet new books that will become your new friends—Black Reconstruction in America, the Black Woman, The Sixth Extinction, Open Veins of Latin America, Playbook for Progressives, Chicano Movement for Beginners, An Indigenous People’s History of the United States and 75 other life-changing reads

Eric Mann will conduct a walking tour of our books who meet at night after we close the doors.

Meet Strategy Center lead organizers, Channing Martinez and Akunna Uka—who are fighting for Black students, Black Folks on Bikes, and organizing high school Strategy and Soul Social Justice Clubs

Meet Bahni Turpin, co-founder of the SoLA Food Co-op, who will host a conversation with children about our great Organizers in Training children’s book collection—Bitter, Sulwe, In the Time of the Drums, PET, The Water Protectors, The Watsons Go to Birmingham, many others. Please bring your kids of all ages and encourage your friends to join us.

Join Pagan George, a great yogi, who will lead us on a standing Qi Gung session.

Sign up for the Katrina’s Legacy—White Racism and Black Reconstruction in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast/US Genocidal Climate Crimes with author Eric Mann, Thursday August 28 at 6 PM at Strategy and Soul
