WRAP’s beloved grant writer, radical organizer, good friend and staff person Lynn Lewis has edited and published a book, Women Who Change the World: Stories from the Fight for Social Justice, from City Lights Books, San Francisco. 

September 20, 2023 by Jonathan Leave a Comment


Lynn interviews nine women, including WRAP leader and board member Terese Howard, who have dedicated their lives to the struggle for social justice and who offer deeply personal stories and a ground level view into current day people’s movements as well as historic moments 

Terese Howard of Housekeys Action Network Denver shares contemporary movement history of homeless organizing in Denver – as well as her own life journey bringing her to this work. As someone who actively participated in shaping that history, these lessons would be lost without her powerful witness. Organizing among houseless folks is often not even on the radar of the broader movement landscape in this country but is more necessary than ever. Her analysis of the necessity for organizing to be accountable to the street is beyond inspirational. It is essential reading for anyone working to end homelessness.

People-Powered Change Wins They say “the revolutio People-Powered Change Wins
They say “the revolution will not be funded.” And it’s true. Those in power currently rely on vast amounts of money to orchestrate their influence. We are organizing more and more PEOPLE into this movement to bring down systemic oppression and build a more just society. We are inherently PEOPLE-POWERED.

Fascism is not “on its way”; it is here. And it is Fascism is not “on its way”; it is here. And it is no secret that authoritarians develop their tools of oppression on the most vulnerable among us – only to unleash them later against anyone who stands in their way.
