@pendlehillusa.bsky.social is where I went to figure out if I was a writer and/or a Quaker. (It's also where I met my husband.) Looking forward to giving the Monday night lecture on November 3.

Common Ground is Quaker activist Eileen Flanagan's account of her experience in the climate justice movement, a collection of “lessons in resistance and solidarity” that Flanagan has picked up along the way in her life-changing journey to protect the earth.

Was great to see @thirdactwisconsin.bsky.social folks in Madison and Milwaukee readings of Common Ground!

Happy pub day to COMMON GROUND by @eileenflanagan.bsky.social! Flanagan weaves together stories of hard won successes in the climate change movement, including against a multinational bank in one case, and a heavily polluting fossil fuel company in another, based on grassroots organizing.

It's been a long road, but I feel like I'm where I'm meant to be--sharing lessons from the #climate movement that are relevant to the struggle against #authoritarianism.

Please see the comments for my blog post on my new book! #commonground

Loving spring! Have to celebrate lilacs, which will last longer than our current administration.

Repeating "deport" in understandable exhortations "do not deport X" "stop deportations" "end mass deportations" traps us in the opposition's frame and actually reinforces the logic of...deportations. We must say what we're for: "here to stay" "[PLACE] is our home" etc presuppose immigrants belong.

I was just saying this today. Part of Dr King's legacy is that he taught people that they could do more than they thought they could. #MLKDay
