DESCRIPTION:Author Lisa Fithian on New Book: "Shut It Down Stories from a Fierce, 
 Loving Resistance" \n\nWHERE: 518 Valencia: The Eric Quezada Center for 
 Culture and Politics, San Franicsco, CA \n(a block away from 16th 
 st/Mission BART)\n\nWHEN: Tuesday, Sept 17th. Doors open at 6:30pm. Event 
 begins at 7pm.  \n\nOur dear friend and long time direct action organizer 
 Lisa Fithian has released a new book, called "Shut It Down Stories from a 
 Fierce, Loving Resistance," and we're excited to host her in the Bay 
 Area.\n\nDetails on the book:\n\nFor decades, Lisa Fithian’s work as an 
 advocate for civil disobedience and nonviolent direct action has put her on 
 the frontlines of change. Described by Mother Jones as “the nation’s 
 best-known protest consultant,” Fithian has supported countless movements 
 including the Battle of Seattle in 1999, rebuilding and defending 
 communities following Hurricane Katrina, Occupy Wall Street, and the 
 uprisings at Standing Rock and in Ferguson. For anyone who wants to become 
 more active in resistance or is just feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, "Shut 
 It Down" offers strategies and actions you can take right now to promote 
 justice and incite change in your own community.\n\nIn "Shut It Down" 
 Fithian shares historic, behind-the-scenes stories from some of the most 
 important people-powered movements of the past several decades. She shows 
 how movements that embrace direct action have always been, and continue to 
 be, the most radical and rapid means for transforming the ills of our 
 society. "Shut It Down" is filled with instructions and inspiration for how 
 movements can evolve as the struggle for social justice continues in the 
 Trump era and beyond.\n\nWhile recognizing that electoral politics, 
 legislation, and policy are all important pathways to change, "Shut It 
 Down" argues that civil disobedience is not just one of the only actions 
 that remains when all else fails, but a spiritual pursuit that protects our 
 deepest selves and allows us to reclaim our humanity. Change can come, but 
 only if we’re open to creatively, lovingly, and strategically standing 
 up, sometimes at great risk to ourselves, to protect what we love.\n
