Friend,

“You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world.
And you have to do it all the time.”

For more than fifty years, long-time activist and educator Dr. Angela
Davis has inspired pivotal movements. And next week, on August 13, we’ll
have the exclusive opportunity to hear from her at "Courage for the
People" with Courage California as she reflects on the progress we’ve made
and where we still need to go.

In order to prepare for our “Courage for the People” virtual event, here
are a few good places to learn more about Dr. Davis and her decades-long
fight for critical reforms:

* [ [link removed] ]Freedom is a Constant Struggle, Dr. Davis’ most recent book of
essays, interviews, and speeches that “illuminates the connections
between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout
history and around the world” (cover copy).
* “‘[ [link removed] ]An Extraordinary Moment': Angela Davis Says Protests Recognize
Long Overdue Anti-Racist Work,” WBUR interview and profile of Angela
Davis from June 19, 2020.
* Democracy Now! Interview -- [ [link removed] ]Part 1 and [ [link removed] ]Part 2 -- from December
2018

Dr. Davis is a beacon of justice and hope for many of us, and her
unwavering commitment to liberating communities around the globe inspires
generations of activists and leaders.

“I’m only 16, but ever since I was young I looked up to Dr. Davis as a
revolutionary warrior. She embodies the kind of radical leadership that
every person needs to work towards if they consider themselves an
organizer.“ - Thandiwe Abdullah, Co-Founder of Black Lives Matter Youth
Vanguard

Join us on August 13 as we imagine a world that works for all Californians
and people across the nation and globe and empower our communities to make
those changes, starting with the ballot.

In Solidarity,

Irene Kao and the Courage California team
