State of emergency : how we win in the country we built / Tamika D. Mallory, as told to Ashley A. Coleman ; forewords by Angela Y. Davis and Cardi B.
"Drawn from a lifetime of frontline culture-shifting advocacy, organizing, and fighting for equal justice ... [this work] ... shares the keys to effective activism both for those new to and long-committed to the defense of Black lives. From Minneapolis to Louisville, to Portland, Kenosha, and Washington, DC, America's reckoning with its unmet promises on race and class is at a boiling point not seen since the 1960s. While conversations around pathways to progress take place on social media and cable TV, history tells us that meaningful change only comes with radical legislation and boots-on-the-ground activism ... [The author] shares her unique personal experience building coalitions, speaking truth to power, and winning over hearts and minds in the struggle for shared prosperity and safety"-- Provided by publisher.
