Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection

Social Change Now is a practical guide for those at every stage of their individual and organizational journeys towards justice, equity and solidarity. It introduces an ecosystems framework that includes ten roles that many of us play in service of our social change values. But the book goes further. It contains detailed descriptions and real-world examples, reflection prompts (with room to write responses), and accessible tips that can immediately be put into action. This book is a resource that will accompany individuals and organizations not only in times of crisis, but throughout their lifelong social change journeys to build connected communities and equitable systems in our world. Over the past three years, people and organizations around the world have used the social change ecosystem framework to respond to the pandemic, express solidarity during the uprisings against anti-Black racism, and support multiracial coalitions struggling for reproductive rights, immigrant and refugee protections, and climate justice.

Thursday January 25, 6-8pm


We’re offering this book club for our community. Half the funds will go toward Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), and although our minimum offer is $25, we hope you contribute more if you are able. The PCRF mobilizes resources that meet immediate needs such as medical care as well as supplies for those tragically impacted by devastating bombings.

* This book club discussion is for those in nuestra comunidad who are advocating for a ceasefire and want to explore this book to learn and grow in our individual roles in order to best serve the collective, both in this moment and beyond.
