Welcome to the You Only Get What You're Organized To Take Book Launch!

On April 8, the Kairos Center invites you to a powerful evening of song, storytelling, and spirit-filled organizing as we celebrate the release of a groundbreaking new book by Rev. Liz Theoharis and Noam Sandweiss-Back: You Only Get What You’re Organized to Take: Lessons from the Movement to End Poverty. This book weaves together the struggles and victories of our movement’s history, offering a roadmap for navigating today’s urgent crises.

But this is more than just a book launch—it’s the launch of a Survival Revival! In tandem with the book’s publication, we will share plans for the Survival Revival Organizing Tour — a bold new initiative to connect with and support communities across the country waging community-level struggles for housing, food, wages, water, land, immigrant rights, bodily autonomy, peace, belonging, and more.

Kairos is an ancient Greek word, describing a time of great change, when the old ways of the world are dying and new ones are struggling to be born. It is clear we are living through exactly such a time today. This kairos moment is full of both grave danger and rare opportunity, and calls for bold and imaginative action from those who wish to break free from the intolerable conditions of poverty, systemic racism, militarism, ecological devastation, and more. It is in this context that new movements of poor and dispossessed people are emerging across the country and world.
