WHEN THEY CALL YOU A TERRORIST (YA edition) by Patrisse Cullors - Rise Feminist Books '2021 Rise: A Feminist Book Project List'

Rise Feminist Books | February 18, 2021

2020 challenged all of us. A pandemic physically separated us. In the midst of loss, isolation, and injustice, we forged new paths of togetherness. We created new models of community. We developed new tools. We connected with our loved ones virtually. We took to the streets in protest.

We are not finished. There is still work to be done.

“We are a generation called to action.” (Khan-Cullors/bandele, When They Call You a Terrorist)

As we take stock of what we have lost, we must continue to fight. We must hold both in our hearts: the past and the future.

We are inspired by women who have used their voices for change, lifting the voices of other women. Women like Shirley Chisholm, Ella Baker, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Jennifer Keelan, Harriet Tubman, and Ethel L. Payne chose to lead with more than just words; they led with action.
