This list is designed to celebrate all the ways that our communities can engage in liberation. For a range of reasons, there are and always have been folks who cannot attend rallies and protests but who continue to contribute to ending police and state violence against black people. People seek justice and support liberation in an array of ways, yet their bodies, their spirits, and their lives may not allow them to be in the streets. We believe that we will win. And we need the presence of everyone in the movement to do so. We affirm that all contributions are political, militant, and valued. By and for those in our communities who can’t be in the streets, we offer a list of concrete ways that we are in the movement, and that we are supporting liberation every day. We see you. We are you. See you in the struggle.

Highlights A rising star in philosophy examines the cultural, social, and scientific interpretations of love to answer one of our most enduring questions What is love? About the Author: Carrie S. I. Jenkins is Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and a nationally elected Canada Research Chair. 224 Pages Philosophy, Metaphysics Description Book Synopsis A rising star in philosophy examines the cultural, social, and scientific interpretations of love to answer one of our most enduring questions What is love? Aside from being the title of many a popular love song, this is one of life's perennial questions. In What Love Is, philosopher Carrie Jenkins offers a bold new theory on the nature of romantic love that reconciles its humanistic and scientific components. Love can be a social construct (the idea of a perfect fairy tale romance) and a physical manifestation (those anxiety- inducing heart palpitations); we must recognize its complexities and decide for ourselves how to love. Motivated by her own polyamorous relationships, she examines the ways in which our parameters of love have recently changed-to be more accepting of homosexual, interracial, and non-monogamous relationships-and how they will continue to evolve in the future. Full of anecdotal, cultural, and scientific reflections on love, What Love Is is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand what it means to say "I love you." Whether young or old, gay or straight, male or female, polyamorous or monogamous, this book will help each of us decide for ourselves how we choose to love. Review Quotes "[Jenkins] lets readers in on some personal secrets, thereby creating the feeling that the book is a safe thinking space. Her personal approach also humanizes her argument because it gives readers concrete examples about the aggressions, judgments, and discriminations to which she has been subjected... An exceptionally clear and easily readable account of the current research into romantic love and ideas for how we might think differently about it."--Los Angeles Review of Books "A rich and thoughtful book... Jenkins writes simply and engagingly about a subject on all our minds."--Toronto Star "A testament to love... accessible to all."--National Post "Jenkins navigates readers through philosophical and metaphysical conversations in an accessible, conversational, and frequently funny way, using analogies that are both memorable and useful... a readable and highly informative book... [Jenkins] stimulates an essential, relevant conversation in a novel, inspiring way."--Quill & Quire "Required reading... Equally important to its subject matter, the book is a master class in how to think and why. Jenkins researches, questions, unpacks, considers, and examines... [she] uses her readable book to advocate for thinking both critically and in great depth as a form of self-protection and self-advocacy."--Booklist, starred review "This book is an invitation to think for yourself about what romantic love is and might be. Carrie Jenkins writes with great clarity and openness about a concept that matters to us all."--Nigel Warburton, author of A Little History of Philosophy "This is a remarkable book, philosophically rich but also personal in a way that is rare. It uses the almost cliched question what love is to draw the reader into a fascinating multidisciplinary exploration, drawing from science, history, philosophy, and politics. It's highly accessible to any reader, yet it also makes important original philosophical points--an extraordinary combination. It's a great introduction not just to its topic, but to what philosophy can be at its finest: rigorously argued and yet deeply relevant to the most important issues in our lives."--Jennifer M. Saul, Professor of Philosophy, University of Sheffield About the Author Carrie S. I. Jenkins is Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and a nationally elected Canada Research Chair. Jenkins received her BA, MPhil and PhD degrees from Trinity College, Cambridge, where she read philosophy in the analytic tradition shaped by Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and G.E. Moore. She previously held academic posts at the University of St Andrews, the Australian National University, and the University of Michigan. She tweets @carriejenkins.

'The Double Mobius: Interdependence' BOOK expresses the interconnected relationships that exist between all beings and all systems of being. The Mobius Strip is a sacred, geometric shape with one continuous, twisted surface. "There's Only One Side...and We're All On It". (from the Introduction) .....The Double Mobius Strip represents the harmonious interaction of seemingly independent beings and systems. It represents the coming together of the spiritual and environmental movements..... I was involved with a meditation group at the time and began to incorporate the symbolism of the Double Mobius into my meditations. I immediately felt a strengthening of my connection to the Earth. I felt and continue to feel a greater awareness of the part that I play in the spiritual/ecological networks that make up this living planet. Customer from Ireland . 2013 "I appreciated learning about the double mobius strip. I am going to a conference on advocacy for eco-justice next week. We are asked to bring a symbol of our advocacy work and I am bringing the mobius strip jewellery but will also bring a copy of your double mobius strip book because planetary healing and inner healing are all one piece.
