Grab your tickets at the link below and join us for an illuminating and invigorating discussion with the author of So You Want to Talk About Race and Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America. Ijeoma will be discussing her new book, Be a Revolution: How Everyday People Are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World―and How You Can, Too. Renowned for her work on racism and systemic injustice, Be a Revolution shows how ordinary folks across America are working to create real positive change in our structures. Looking at many of our most powerful systems—like education, media, labor, health, housing, policing, and more—Oluo highlights what people are doing to create change for intersectional racial equity. She also warmly calls the reader in, inviting us all to do what we can with what we've got, wherever we are and to know that small actions ARE revolutionary.
