Free Library of Philadelphia - You Only Get What You're Organized To Take

In , Rev. Liz Theoharis and Noam Sandweiss-Back chronicle stories and learnings from some of the most significant anti-poverty struggles of the past 30 years. This book offers not only a powerful examination of the past, but a roadmap for how we ignite a new era of movement-building and democratic awakening.

There will be an opportunity to hear directly from the authors and other grassroots organizers, and engage in shared dialogue about conditions in Philly, PA, and the country as a whole.

We will also hear plans for the Survival Revival Organizing Tour — a bold new organizing drive among the poor. Over the coming year(s), grassroots leaders will criss-cross the country, connecting with and linking up community-level struggles for housing, food, wages, water, land, immigrant rights, bodily autonomy, peace, belonging, and more.

Co-sponsors: Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice, The Free Library of Philadelphia, Making Worlds, and Put People First PA!

Hosted at the Skyline Room, Floor 4.
