does anyone have book recommendations for harm reduction, community building or anything like that? i’m trying to educate myself more and i think these things are most important to focus on currently!!

emergent strategy by adrienne marie brown and all about love by bell hooks come to mind. also healing justice lineages! i’ve also been reading we both laughed in pleasure: the diaries of lou sullivan (gay trans masc activist in the 80-90s) to feel less alone in these times 😅
if you’re looking for some general tools and wisdom for this moment I’d suggest “Let This Radicalize You” by Mariame Kaba & Kelly Hayes (Chicago organizer). Also, I haven’t read it yet but Dean Spade just came out with a new book called “Love in a Fucked Up World”
You might try Be a Revolution by Ijeoma Oluo, Beyond Survival ed by Ejeris Dixon & Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Inclusion Revolution by Daisy Auger-Dominguez, Our Work Is Everywhere by Syan Rose, and Falling Back in Love with Being Human by Kai Cheng Thom. :]
