How do ordinary people with busy lives leverage our actions in support of liberation, justice, and authentic connection? How can activists and social change-makers avoid burning out? How does the body factor into what our social movements miss? Drawing on the somatic arts, trauma-informed psychology, and anti-oppressive movements, Rae Johnson tries to help his readers explore and transform the political realities of our everyday lives in a new way: by harnessing the felt experience of their bodies as sites of activism.
