About the book

We all know it takes guts and creativity to fight for justice. But how often do we put those same qualities to work in our most intimate relationships? In this inspiring self-help handbook, luminary trans activist and author of Mutual Aid Dean Spade dares us to be the change we want to see--both out in the world, and in our closest connections.

About the event

You don’t need to read the book to attend and join the dialogue. We’ll be considering some questions and themes from the book. Here are some questions the publisher offers:

• How do we divest from the idea that one romantic partner will be the solution to all our problems?

• How do we separate our expectations of love from the troubling dynamics left to us by our parents?

• How do we bring our best thinking about freedom and justice into step with our desires for healing and connection?

Free to attend!

We’ll have cookies and tea and other libations available for donation.
