""If not you, then who? If not now, then when? We need more women to speak up and make their voices heard. Young women have valuable experiences and perspectives. We need you in this fight.” Senator Elizabeth Warren, from a Girl’s Guide to Joining the Resistance
So—the presidential election of 2016 happened. You cried, you ranted, you marched. But how do you stay engaged for the long term? How do you keep fighting while also continuing your real life? How do you get involved when you feel far from the action? How do you stay vigilant without being furious all. the. time?
Needing to take action after the election, Emma Gray, Executive Women’s Editor at HuffPost, put on her journalist hat and set out to get answers to these questions from some of the most prominent thought leaders and activists of our time. She spoke with march organizers, and senators, long-time activists, and newcomers across political movements to find out the best ways to listen to those who have been doing this for a while, join in, and create sustainable action. In all of her conversations, one theme came up again and again: young women are essential to the resistance.
Interweaving the interviews with her own experiences covering resistance events and being a member of the media in a time when the media has been under assault, Emma has created a down and dirty guide for women of all ages to roll up their sleeves and resist the forces that are a threat to our rights.
Inside you’ll find:

• A guide for how to choose good news sources and make sure you’re getting quality information.

• Practical instructions on how to get involved and stay involved, with examples from the author’s own experience organizing the successful “Watch Us Run” conference.

• An exploration of female centric work spaces and instructions for how to create your own.

• Advice for self-care and how to stay involved without exhausting yourself.

• Extensive information including numbers to call, organizations to email and donate to, and scripts for reaching out to representatives and organizations.

• Interviews with experienced activists including Senator Elizabeth Warren, actress and activist Ashley Judd, actress and activist Marlo Thomas, Women’s March Co-Chair Carmen Perez, Mother of the Movement Lucy McBath, Black Lives Matter Network co-creator Alicia Garza, People for Bernie Founder Winnie Wong, and former assistant to President Obama Tina Tchen.

The Gods of Egypt

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Ancient and mysterious. Powerful and deadly. All-knowing and generous. The Gods of Egypt were many things. 
 
They originated many thousands of years ago in a land far away from Egypt. Over time they evolved, changed, adapted and grew in mystery. 
 
Their stories are filled with great battles and vengeance. Of cycles of nature and the balance of the very universe. Their tales a real game of thrones. 
 
From the gods of the underworld such as Osiris and Anubis, to the gods of light such as Amun-Ra and Horus, the lives and actions of the Gods of Ancient Egypt explain our very existence and our place in the universe. The mysteries of all that is and ever shall be were explored in their lives. 
 
Isis immaculately conceived the son of God. Horus and Set did battle again and again as light and dark. Maat was the fundamental order of the universe itself. Ra was the rising sun. Osiris was God of the underworld. Thoth created writing, science and more. All of this as a mirror to the observable world and even more to explain that which cannot be observed. 
 
Their influence has travelled across continents and across time. Our own so-called religions are full of them under different names. 
 
This is the fascinating story of the Real Gods of Egypt.

More Than Our Pain - Affect and...

Beth Hinderliter, Steve Peraza

Confronted by a crisis in black American leadership, state-sanctioned violence against black communities, and colorblind laws that trap black Americans in a racial caste system, Black Lives Matter activists and the artists inspired by them have devised new forms of political and cultural resistance. More Than Our Pain explores how affect and emotion can drive collective political and cultural action in the face of a new nadir in race relations in the United States. This foregrounding of affect and emotion marks a clear break from civil rights–era activists, who were often trained to counter false narratives about protesters as thugs and criminals by presenting themselves as impeccably groomed and disciplined young black Americans. In contrast, the Black Lives Matter movement in the early twenty-first-century makes no qualms about rejecting the politics of respectability. Affect and emotion has moved from the margin to the center of this new human rights movement, and by examining righteous rage, black joy, as well as grief and fatigue, among other emotions, the contributors celebrate the vitality of black life while documenting those who have harmed it. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
