“What really makes us safe?” Book
The “What really makes us safe?” project that we’ve been working on for the past several years culminated in the publication of a toolkit last summer, which many of our collaborators and allies like LesMigras, Hydra, and Women in Exile contributed to. The toolkit is still available to download here, and has now been expanded and published as a book from edition assemblage. You can order it here or ask for it from your local bookshop!
Book Reviewers needed…
We are looking for people to write reviews of the book for local and national media. If you are interested, shoot us a message at transformyrcommunity@riseup.net
