BOOK: Hard Work of Hope

But this is not a nostalgic look back. It's a gripping, clear-eyed account of how movements are made—and why they matter.

Pamela, Next week, a new book drops that can shape our work in these dark times: My friend Michael Ansara takes us deep into the heady, turbulent days of 1960s and 70s activism: the civil rights movement, the ten-year fight to end the Vietnam War, and the hard lessons of organizing in the years that followed. But this is not a nostalgic look back. It's a gripping, clear-eyed account of how movements are made—and why they matter. Michael's memoir is unusual in that it is as concerned with strategy as it is with memory, making this less the umpteenth celebration of the 60s and more a set of lessons for the people, young or old, who are fighting for justice in the present. 👉 The book launches July 15 — pre-order now and be among the first to read it: Buy on Bookshop Buy on Amazon In solidarity, Mike Phelan Progress America Paid for by Progress America, a project of Strategy & Hustle   Sent via ActionNetwork.org.
