SUMMARY:Book Discussion\, The Purpose of Power\, How We Come Together When We Fall Apart
DESCRIPTION:Book Discussion\, The Purpose of Power\, How We Come Together When We Fall Apart\nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 27\, 2022 | 5  – 6:30 PM\nBOOK HOST: KATE STRASSMAN \nABOUT THE BOOK: \n“The Purpose of Power\,” is an inspirational\, straight-talking book about how we can change things in our society.  It’s the wake-up call we all need. \nAn essential guide to building transformative movements to address the challenges of our time\, from one of the country’s leading organizers and a co-creator of Black Lives Matter \n“Excellent and provocative . . . a gateway [to] urgent debates.”—Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor\, The New Yorker \nNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY Time • Marie Claire • Kirkus Reviews \nIn 2013\, Alicia Garza wrote what she called “a love letter to Black people” on Facebook\, in the aftermath of the acquittal of the man who murdered seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin. Garza wrote: \nBlack people. I love you. I love us. Our lives matter. \nWith the speed and networking capacities of social media\, #BlackLivesMatter became the hashtag heard ’round the world. But Garza knew even then that hashtags don’t start movements—people do. \nLong before #BlackLivesMatter became a rallying cry for this generation\, Garza had spent the better part of two decades learning and unlearning some hard lessons about organizing. The lessons she offers are different from the “rules for radicals” that animated earlier generations of activists\, and diverge from the charismatic\, patriarchal model of the American civil rights movement. She reflects instead on how making room amongst the woke for those who are still awakening can inspire and activate more people to fight for the world we all deserve. \nThis is the story of one woman’s lessons through years of bringing people together to create change. Most of all\, it is a new paradigm for change for a new generation of changemakers\, from the mind and heart behind one of the most important movements of our time. \nBook summary derived from Amazon \nYour registration and attendance certify that you are following these requirements.   \nIn an effort to create a safe environment\, the Women’s Fund of Greater Milwaukee adopted a COVID policy that requires all attendees either be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a recent negative COVID-19 test.  Regardless of vaccination status\, if you are experiencing symptoms or have had recent contact with someone who has COVID or COVID symptoms\, please refrain from attending events/meetings in person.  \nIf your status regarding COVID changes ahead of an event/meeting\, please contact Lisa Attonito\, Executive Director\, to discuss participation options.  Lattonito@womensfundmke.org or 414-290-7350.
