What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe. Longtime organizers 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, and consider what this confluence of power can teach us about a future that will require mass acts of care, rescue and defense, in the face of both state violence and environmental disaster.

It includes insights from a spectrum of experienced organizers, 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.

Este libro presenta la sistematización del trabajo artículado entre las asociaciones campesinas ACOC (Asociación de caficultores organícos de Colombia) y ASOPECAM (Asociación de pequeños caficultores de La Marina), el Instituto Mayor Campesino (IMCA) y la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, para concretar un modelo de economía solidaria que permite a los productores campesinos trascender de su condición de proveedores de materia primar para ser socios de una empresa social, con autonomía. En el libro se propone una ruta pedagógica para la promoción del trabajo colaborativo y el intercambio de conocimientos y aprendizajes en contexto, entre organizaciones campesinas, estudiantes y profesores de la Universidad; este esfuerzo colectivo contribuye también al fortalecimientos de las asociaciones caficultoras en el Valle del Cauca, que promueven los valores del comercio justo y la agroecología de la región.
