Gordon Whitman signs and discusses “Stand Up!”

Left Bank Books welcomes veteran community organizer Gordon Whitman, who will sign and discuss his new book, "Stand Up!: How to Get Involved, Speak Out, and Win in a World on Fire," with Rev. Cassandra Gould!

This event is free and open to the public, but proof of purchase of "Stand Up!" from Left Bank Books will be required to enter the signing line.

Each of us faces a moment of truth—at a time of crisis, do we stand up and speak out or retreat into our private lives? Veteran organizer Gordon Whitman shows that we have the power we need to create a racially and economically just society. But it won’t happen if we stay on the sidelines sharing social media posts and signing online petitions. We win only if we’re willing to join other people in the kind of face-to- face organizing that has powered every successful social movement in history. Whitman describes five types of conversations that enable people to build organizations that can solve local problems and confront the greatest challenges facing our country—from gun violence to climate change.

With special thanks to Missouri Faith Voices.
