What’s the Point of Revolution if We Can’t Dance?
Jane Barry
with Jelena Đorđević
“... truly opens up new landscapes. And the most important thing is that, at the end of it, I felt hopeful. It managed to convince me that we can do something different with our lives, and with the world, because they are not as divided as we tend to think they are.”
— Alejandra Sardá, Founder and Director of Mulabi - Latin American Space for Sexualities and Rights
Urgent Action Fund brings us the experiences of more than 100 activists from around the world. Their fears. Hopes. Exhaustion. Exaltation. Grief and pleasure. Pain, loss and humor. Spirituality. Funding crunches. Backbiting and burnout. Self-worth, desire, selfishness, and selflessness.
In Revolution activists from all walks of life talk about the intensely personal and inextricably important side of activism that leaves so many of us fatigued, isolated and ill.
We also talk about what keeps us strong – the love and passion for the work, and for each other. The simple and complex strategies that activists use to stay well and safe. The book concludes with a call for a revolution within activism that will ensure that we can sustain ourselves and our movements.
