A six-session reading group for the book Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown.

“Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds feels like such an intimately important read right now. We are living through such harmful and troubling times as white supremacy and fascist support persists throughout the country, but we can find hope in resistance efforts working toward collective liberation and dismantling systems of oppression. 

Emergent Strategy is a book rooted in finding and protecting the hope located in patterns of change and finding ways of better relating with one another. Finding those moments for collaboration as we work to build the futures we want to live in - the transformative and liberating kind of futures. This book so beautifully embraces the interweaving moments of the personal and the political, and provides readers with tools to help facilitate lasting change. Most importantly, it is a book that is intended to be read and explored in community and for the community. So I hope you’ll join me in unlocking our emergent strategies. Pa’lante!” - Chelsey Echevarría
