How do we create new, non-hierarchical structures of support and mutual aid and include all ages in the struggle for social justice? 

Join Victoria Law, coeditor of the new book Don't Leave Your Friends Behind: Concrete Ways to Support Families in Social Justice Movements and Communities, and contributors Traci Picard and 
Jennifer Silverman for a reading and discussion about ways to support families in social justice movements and communities. Let's build an all-ages, all-inclusive revolution that leaves no one behind!

Vikki Law is a writer, photographer, and mother. She is the author of Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women, which won the 2009 PASS (Prevention for a Safer Society) Award and the zine Tenacious: Art & Writings from Women in Prison.

She writes about plants, foraging, holistic health care and life and maintains a blog of photos and thoughts at fellowworkersfarm.wordpress.com while homeschooling her 3 children.

Jennifer has also spoken about raising her son with autism, intergenerational movement building, and/or community organized childcare at conferences including the Left Forum, National Conference on Organized Resistance, Mama Gathering, and several bookfairs, and is looking forward to the day when there is less talk and more action on these issues.
