Added Rad Book

-

 Added to the Rad Mini Library is the anthology Healing Justice Lineages: Dreaming at the Crossroads of Liberation, Collective Care, and Safety. Cara Page (Author); Erica Woodland (Author); Aurora Levins Morales (Foreword)



From Cara Page https://carapage.co/healing-justice-anthology/

The purpose of this project is to pay homage to the history and lineage of Healing Justice and the ways our people have always known of collective care, safety and healing strategies as integral to our political liberation. I am honored to co-edit this anthology with Erica Woodland, founder and Executive Director of National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Network.

A profound offering and call to action—collective stories, testimonials, and incantations for renewing political and spiritual liberation grounded in Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Queer and Trans healing justice lineages.

We reclaim the power, resilience, and innovation of our ancestors through this book. To embody their wisdom across centuries and generations is to continue their legacy of liberation and healing.

In this anthology, Black Queer Feminist editors Cara Page and Erica Woodland guide readers through the history, legacies, and liberatory practices of healing justice—a political strategy of collective care and safety that intervenes on generational trauma from systemic violence and oppression. They call forth the ancestral medicines and healing practices that have sustained communities who have survived genocide and oppression, while radically imagining what comes next.

Anti-capitalist, Black feminist, and abolitionist, Healing Justice Lineages is a profound and urgent call to embrace community and survivor-led care strategies as models that push beyond commodified self-care, the policing of the medical industrial complex, and the surveillance of the public health system. Centering disability, reproductive, environmental, and transformative justice and harm reduction, this collection elevates and archives an ongoing tradition of liberation and survival—one that has been largely left out of our history books, but continues to this day.

 Recently added to the Rad Mini Library - free blankets and skill zines by Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness. Hand warmers and face masks are also restocked! From Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness https://www.tangledwilderness.org/ Edible Perennials for Community Preparedness is a zine about edible perennial plants. This is the third zine in the Live Like the World is Dying Skill Series zines. This zine was compiled from an interview with Aaron, the host of the Propaganda By the Seed podcast. This zine is available here in print form in a quantity of 2. It’s also available for free as an interactive or printable PDF here . What is a perennial? Perennials are plants that have a life cycle of at least three years—as op-posed to annuals (plants that have to be grown from seed anew each year because they have a single-year lifecycle) and biennials (plants that spend a year growing and then another year producing seed and dying—so they have a two-year life cycle). Some perennial p...

Sharing a rad book and rad event! We Grow the World Together: Parenting Toward Abolition, edited by Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson. From Haymarket Books: "As we await a second Trump presidency, it's easy to feel frozen -- as if any action we take can't possibly be enough, and may be futile. Now is a moment to bring in the stories of folks who are taking action to build a liberatory world every day, sometimes in ways that go completely unrecognized: caregivers. In this heavy time, it's important to recognize the centrality of care to movement work. In their new anthology, We Grow the World Together: Parenting Toward Abolition, Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson have drawn together the insights of a wide range of authors and organizers, including Dorothy Roberts, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Mariame Kaba, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Beth Richie, Harsha Walia, Dylan Rodriguez, Victoria Law, adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown, and many more. Together, these essays illuminate the w...
