Oppression reproduces itself anew each day, requiring us to continually adapt our tools of resistance. Beautiful Rising offers insights and lessons for creative resistance from across the Global South, making it a crucial resource for changemakers.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, educator and civil rights activist

Tom Hayden once said that change is slow except when its fast. Were in a fast moment right now when the creative storytelling, strategizing, and organizing we do really matter. Beautiful Rising inspires and teaches by offering access to some of the most tactically imaginative ways people can turn the resources they have into the power they need to achieve the change they want around the world.

Marshall Ganz, author of Why David Sometimes Wins: Leadership, Organization, and Strategy in the California Farm Worker Movement

Syrian activists evaded the soldier and censor by releasing hundreds of ping pong balls covered in liberatory messages to bounce through the streets of Damascus... In the same spirit, Beautiful Rising bounces dozens of these and other stories, tactics, strategies, theories, and inspiration from social movements across the Global South into the public square of ideas. May they roll everywhere and be picked up by curious hands to play with.

Katherine Ainger, co-editor of We Are Everywhere: The Irresistible Rise of Global Anti-Capitalism

Beautiful Rising is an extraordinary treasury of insights and lessons from some of the worlds savviest grassroots movements. Prepare to be inspired by the creativity and resilience showcased in this smart, exuberant volume, created through a remarkable collaboration among organizers from around the globe.

L.A. Kauffman, author of Direct Action: Protest and the Reinvention of American Radicalism

Time and time over we are seeing our local struggles uniting globally. From Palestine to Mexico, Beautiful Rising is making this connection more explicit and urgent.

Rafeef Ziadah, poet and human rights activist

Beyond a brilliantly innovative toolkit for making social change, you will find here a deep structure of activist patterns and principles that can unite millions in creating a new world beyond capitalist sociopathy and strong man despotism. Read this optimistic book for hope in grim times.

Charles Derber, author of Welcome to the Revolution: Universalizing Resistance for Social Justice and Democracy in Perilous Times
