DESCRIPTION:In the #1 New York Times bestseller "So You Want To Talk About Race", 
 writer Ijeoma Oluo offered a vital guide for how to talk about important 
 issues of race and racism in society. In "Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of 
 White Male America", she discussed the ways in which white male supremacy 
 has had an impact on our systems, our culture, and our lives throughout 
 American history. But now that we better understand these systems of 
 oppression, what can we do about them? \n\nIn her latest book, "Be A 
 Revolution: How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression and Changing the 
 World-and How You Can, Too", Ijeoma aims to show how people across America 
 are working to create real positive change within our structures. Ijeoma 
 looks at many of our most powerful systems-like education, media, labor, 
 health, housing, policing, and more-highlighting what people are doing to 
 create change for intersectional racial equity. She also illustrates 
 various ways in which we all can find entryways into change in these same 
 areas or can bring some of this important work being done elsewhere to 
 where we live. With an emphasis on intersectionality in all forms of 
 activism, Ijeoma provides a critical analysis of society's systemic 
 institutions, stressing the need for abolition-the fight for freedom-as 
 well as the need to look to the root cause of social issues and the 
 collective responsibility for those issues. \n\nJoin Ijeoma and CIIS 
 Director of the Center for Black & Indigenous Praxis Preston Vargas for an 
 inspiring conversation encouraging all of us to engage with our communities 
 and examine how we can start creating positive systemic change.\n\nSliding 
 scale $0 to $25.\n
