Practicing new worlds : abolition and emergent strategies / by Ritchie, Andrea J.,author.(CARDINAL)502346; brown, adrienne maree,writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)355033; Gumbs, Alexis Pauline,1982-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)853800;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Practicing New Worlds explores how principles of emergence, adaptation, iteration, resilience, transformation, interdependence, decentralization and fractalization can shape organizing toward a world without the violence of surveillance, police, prisons, jails, or cages of any kind, in which we collectively have everything we need to survive and thrive. Drawing on decades of experience as an abolitionist organizer, policy advocate, and litigator in movements for racial, gender, economic, and environmental justice and the principles articulated by adrienne maree brown in Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds, Ritchie invites us to think beyond traditional legislative and policy change to create more possibilities for survival and resistance in the midst of the ongoing catastrophes of racial capitalism—and the cataclysms to come. Rooted in analysis of current abolitionist practices and interviews with on-the-ground organizers resisting state violence, building networks to support people in need of abortion care, and nurturing organizations and convergences that can grow transformative cities and movements, Practicing New Worlds takes readers on a journey of learning, unlearning, experimentation, and imagination to dream the worlds we long for into being"--

Change [sound recording] : how to make big things happen / by Centola, Damon,author.(CARDINAL)850310; Fouhey, James,narrator.(CARDINAL)833227;
Read by James Fouhey.For readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Richard Thaler, and Cass Sunstein, a bold and paradigm-busting new theory about the complex way ideas and behaviors spread, and how to efficiently effect the change listeners want to see in the world. Most of what is known about how ideas spread comes from bestselling authors who give a compelling picture of a world, in which "influencers" are king, "sticky" ideas go viral, and good behavior is "nudged" forward. The only problem is that the world they describe is a world where information spreads, but beliefs and behaviors stay the same. It is a world of simple contagions, which spread quickly to everyone but do not have any lasting impact on what they think or how they live. When it comes to transforming behaviors and beliefs, the dynamics of change are different: beliefs and behaviors are not transmitted from person to person in the simple way that a virus is. The real story of social change is more complex.
