One week from today Firestorm will be hosting @MsKellyMHayes in conversation with organizer Ash Williams to discuss the launch of "Read this When Things Fall Apart," a new publication of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times.

“If you need an antidote to despair, this book is for you. It’s a repository of fortifying collective wisdom, a tonic for our troubled times. The letters Kelly Hayes has collected offer vital insights amid the darkness, shrewd strategic advice for aspiring change-makers, and a reminder none of us are in the fight alone.”—Astra Taylor, co-author of "Solidarity: The Past, Present, and Future of a World-Changing Idea"

"So, when I was able to encounter “DS9,” I think, as David was pointing out, it’s very Black, it’s a little bit gay. It’s really just a totally new way, especially for mainstream television, of approaching the “TNG” [“The Next Generation”] franchise and the idea of the United Federation of Planets.

And I think that the real, even if imperfect, anticolonial politics of the show is something that’s so powerful and so rare, especially the ways that they were able to explore, I know we’re going to speak about this later, ideas of violence and what it means to organize against the status quo in real ways. So, I do often go between the “TNG” franchise, “The Next Generation,” and “Deep Space Nine,” because sometimes you really love a cleaned-up and tidy universe in which capitalism does not exist, the associated violence do not exist. And sometimes, you really just want Daddy Picard to just end every 45 minutes with something that just feels morally right in the world. But “DS9” is darker. It reflects power, imperialism and race, and really centers those struggling against it as real people."

If you listen to #MovementMemos, I just wanted to give folks a heads-up that the show will not be returning until next week. We had planned to have our first episode of the year drop tomorrow, but we ran into some production issues, and I just wasn't up for the work marathon that publishing this week would have required.
