Join us for a dyanmic evening with the editors and authors, movement communicators, cultural strategists, and scholars, who have not only contributed to the Radical Communicators Network anthology Liberation Stories: Building Narrative Power for 21st Century Social Movements (New Press, June 2025), but have actively shaped progressive and leftist narratives in some of the most important social movements of our time. Co-editors, Shanelle Matthews and Marzena Zukowska, along with co-authors Pamela Mejia, Amanda Cooper, Asha E DuMonthier and Olivia Blockerwill go behind-the-scenes of the six-year journey of creating the first anthology written by and for social justice communicators, explore the power of documenting movement work, offer a first reading of experts from the anthology and engage with co-authors in a participatory discussion on the future of narrative power. Constructing the world we envision, one story at a time.In Liberation Stories: Building Narrative Power for 21st Century Social Movements, today's foremost progressive and leftist communicators, organizers, artists, journalists, and academics share their collective insights in one powerful volume. Featuring in-depth case studies of both contemporary and historical movements, Liberation Stories distills successful theories, strategies, and tactics for anyone wanting to understand—and participate in—the diverse initiatives currently shaping our society.
