This is gonna be a good read! Art Works maps the artist-organizer alliances which drive & sustain social movements. It’s full of history, plus key tactics for our present and future. Check out #ArtWorksBook at thenewpress.com/books/art-wo… @KgrossingerG @ArtWorksBook @thenewpress
A great article that recounts the first Tibetan Freedom Concert, including a few stories and moments that I didn't even know about! Thanks @MarcHogan for interviewing so many people who were part of making those Concerts happen.

A thought-provoking read on a lot of levels. "A sense of common fate produces a shared identity, the knowledge that we, together, are part of a group. In turn, that shared identity produces solidarity and the ability to work together collectively." behavioralscientist.org/powe…
25 years ago today we produced the first Tibetan Freedom Concert in San Francisco. Wow...so many memories. [a thread]
and if anyone wants to mark the day with a donation to @SFTHQ to help the work continue, I know they will put it to good use.
Free Tibet!

I keep saying we need more movement people on corporate boards. BLM & AAPI leaders on boards of companies that have made statements about racism. Environmental activists on energy boards. Not just 1 per board. But several! Then real change will happen. nytimes.com/2021/05/26/busin…
