Description
by Tamika D. Mallory (Author)
Social justice leader Tamika D. Mallory states her case for action and reveals "the power we all have to win transformative change" (Marc Lamont Hill, New York Times bestselling author) in this searing indictment of America's historical, deadly, and continuing assault on Black and brown lives.Drawn from a lifetime of frontline culture-shifting advocacy, organizing, and fighting for equal justice, State of Emergency makes Mallory's demand for change and shares the keys to effective activism both for those new to and long-committed to the defense of Black lives. From Minneapolis to Louisville, to Portland, Kenosha, and Washington, DC, America's reckoning with its unmet promises on race and class is at a boiling point not seen since the 1960s. While conversations around pathways to progress take place on social media and cable TV, history tells us that meaningful change only comes with radical legislation and boots-on-the-ground activism. Here, Mallory shares her unique personal experience building coalitions, speaking truth to power, and winning over hearts and minds in the struggle for shared prosperity and safety. Forward-looking, steeped in history, and rich with stories from life on the margins of American life, State of Emergency effortlessly gives us the tools we "need to fight injustice and find a pathway towards true freedom" (Marie Claire).
