Creating a Culture of Repair -...

Robert Turner, Liz Theoharis

Many people are aware of the injustices Black Americans have suffered over the centuries but feel powerless when it comes to repairing the harm done. 
 
 
 
The inequality remains even after laws and policies have been corrected. Calculating and implementing financial reparations will require large-scale government action, which can feel out of reach or overwhelming for the average person. Robert Turner provides an accessible guide for individuals and groups wanting to influence significant institutional action while also acting on their own to repair the effects of racial injustice in our communities, churches, and spheres of influence. Dividing into categories of individual, social, institutional, and spiritual repair, Turner offers the longest list of reparations currently published, with more than one hundred actions listeners can begin practicing and advocating for to help balance economic injustice, undo hurtful decisions from decades past, and rally public support for bold and principled legislation.

GIVE A F*CK - The Art of Caring...

Gigi Bird

This audiobook is a manifesto for those who are tired of pretending not to care. 
“Apathy isn’t peace. It’s emotional starvation.” 
It’s a mirror, a fire, and a hand reaching out from the noise — reminding you that your ability to give a f*** is not your weakness. 
It’s your power. 
Give a F*** will make you laugh, think, and maybe cry a little — but more than that, it will make you remember. 
Remember who you are when you stop numbing, start feeling, and finally let yourself care again.*
