  Social justice work is more crucial than ever, but it can be physically and emotionally draining. Longtime activist Denise Collazo offers three keys to help Hispanic women keep their focus, morale, and energy high. 
   
  Winner of the gold medal at the International Latino Book Awards for Best Latina-Themed Book and Best Self-Transformational Book! 
   
   
   
  Doing the work of social change is hard. Waking up every day to take on the biggest challenges of our time can be overwhelming, and sometimes progress is hard to see. And Latina activists face the additional challenges of racism and sexism in a predominantly white, patriarchal society. 
   
  Denise Collazo has been there. She is the first Latina, the first woman of color, and the first woman period to raise a family and stay in the work of community organizing at Faith in Action, an international progressive network of 3,000 congregations. Drawing on her own experiences and those of other Latina activists, Collazo lays out three keys to thriving in the movement for social change: leading into your vision, living into the fullest version of yourself, and loving past negatives that hold you back. She also warns about the three signs that you may be checking out, giving up, or passively standing by while problems get worse. This honest, practical, and inspirational book will help Latina activists to burn bright, not burn out.

  Redefine the expectations for women in leadership roles with this #1 New York Times bestselling volume of inspiring advice by the former communications director for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Framed as an empowering letter from former Hillary Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri to the first woman president, and by extension, to all women working to succeed in any field, Dear Madam President is filled with forward-thinking, practical advice for all women who are determined to seize control of their lives-from boardroom to living room. As a country, we haven't wrapped our heads around what it should look like for a woman to be in the job of President. Our only models are men. While wildly disappointed by the outcome of the 2016 election, Palmieri argues that our feelings-confusion, love, hate, acceptance-can now open the country up to reimagining women in leadership roles. And that is what Palmieri takes on in this book-redefining expectations for women looking to lead and creating a blueprint for women candidates and leaders to follow. Dear Madam President will turn the results of the 2016 election into something incredibly empowering for graduates, future female leaders, and independent thinkers everywhere.

  In Defense of Christian Patriotism

  Since when does praying to Jesus, loving America, and saluting the flag make you an extremist? 
  Patriotism isn’t optional for Christians. It’s essential. In Defense of Christian Patriotism explains that God gave us a country, and with it, a duty to love it. So why do cynics act like Christians ought to be burning flags, desacralizing churches, and disdaining our national history?  
  In this deeply-researched walkthrough of political theology and history, Daniel Darling defies the statue-toppling spirit of our age to recover a lost tradition of patriotism. He lays out why Christians should revere flags and civic heroes, that it’s OK to believe in American exceptionalism, and what it really looks like to bring Jesus into politics (spoiler: it’s not theocracy). You may be called a fascist. That’s OK. When insanity is normal, the normal are deemed insane. 
  The Left claims Christian political engagement will produce a “real-life Handmaid’s Tale,” “the Afghan Taliban,” and a “Christo-fascist future.” In fact, the opposite is true. The Salvation Army and the Southern Baptist Convention run the second- and third-biggest disaster relief organizations in the country. Seventy-three percent of American substance abuse treatment programs include spiritual elements. Evangelicals are five times more likely to adopt than the average adult. This is a tradition to be proud of. So why aren’t we? 
  In Defense of Christian Patriotism is Darling’s joyful response to the cynics: stop lecturing the faithful. Instead, equip them. The book is a guide arming ordinary Christian patriots to fight back against the Left's false narrative with an upbeat, robust defense of how Christians make America better.

  The Flag Cross and the Station...

  "Narrator Eric Jason Martin adds gusto to this mini-memoir, which spans much of author Bill McKibben's lifetime."-AudioFile on The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon Bill McKibben—award-winning author, activist, educator—is fiercely curious. “I’m curious about what went so suddenly sour with American patriotism, American faith, and American prosperity.”Like so many of us, McKibben grew up believing—knowing—that the United States was the greatest country on earth. As a teenager, he cheerfully led American Revolution tours in Lexington, Massachusetts. He sang “Kumbaya” at church. And with the remarkable rise of suburbia, he assumed that all Americans would share in the wealth.But fifty years later, he finds himself in an increasingly doubtful nation strained by bleak racial and economic inequality, on a planet whose future is in peril.And he is curious: What the hell happened?In this revelatory cri de coeur, McKibben digs deep into our history (and his own well-meaning but not all-seeing past) and into the latest scholarship on race and inequality in America, on the rise of the religious right, and on our environmental crisis to explain how we got to this point. He finds that he is not without hope. And he wonders if any of that trinity of his youth—The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon—could, or should, be reclaimed in the fight for a fairer future.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Co.

  Women Who Invented the Sixties -...

  Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. 
   
   
   
  In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. 
   
   
   
  Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.
