Great Reads for Organizers!

If you have very young activists-to-be who you’re raising up, A is for Activist is an absolutely beautiful board book. And it’s also available in Spanish!

If your children are a little older or early teens, Bread and Roses Too​ is wonderful.

For us adults, here are our top 3 picks for great summer reads for organizers and activists.

And, if you’re a unionist and haven’t yet read Secrets of a Successful Organizer, it’s time. (Author Talk recording here​.)

These books are engaging to read, thought-provoking, and grounded in a sophisticated intersectional analysis of racial justice and other movements.

Meanwhile, below are great how-to classics on organizing – books that all organizers might find useful – and recent releases having to do more explicitly with online organizing. Got a book to recommend? Let us know. (We’ll credit you if we post it.) And please vote on books you’ve read to help fellow organizers find their way to good reads.
