What fuels and sustains activism and organising when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organisers building power in an era of destabilisation and catastrophe.

Longtime organisers and movement educators Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes examine some of the political lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the convergence of mass protest and mass formations of mutual aid. They consider what this confluence of power can teach us about a future that will require mass acts of care, rescue, and defence in the face of both state violence and environmental disaster.

The book is an assemblage of co-authored reflections, interviews, and questions designed to aid and empower activists and organisers as they navigate their own journeys through the work of justice-making. It includes insights from a spectrum of experienced organisers, including Sharon Lungo, Carlos Saavedra, Ejeris Dixon, Barbara Ransby, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore, about some of the difficult and joyous lessons they have learned in their work.
