Essential and groundbreaking, it will equip organizers to harness the power of relationships for revolutionary change.”—Nadine Naber, author of Arab America: Gender, Cultural Politics, and Activism“A powerful collection that puts past, present, and theory in conversation, We Are Each Other's Liberation urges us to re-examine Black and Asian community dynamics through the lens of woman of color feminisms. The gift that this book gives us is a guide for how to think about power—how we wield it, how it is used against us, how we can use it to oppose those who are out to destroy us. We Are Each Other’s Liberation is a gathering of essential answers to the question of where we go from here.”—Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, author of The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred“A beacon of kinship, movement wisdom, and insurgent possibility for all of us struggling with despair in fascist times.”—Harsha Walia“A must read for organizers in need of hope in these difficult times.”—Alice Wong
