Interview at Workday: Every Life Is a World: Sarah Jaffe on the Power of Collective Grief

Amie Stager at Workday magazine interviewed me about From the Ashes, and shared some of her own personal grief story in this lovely piece. She writes:

In this book, organizers share their stories of grief and power in From the Ashes, including several from Minneapolis. The George Floyd uprisings, and the demonstrations of collective grief that have followed police brutality in the U.S., are threaded into a wider story on the history and power of grief. Jaffe carefully threads these stories with her own, alongside criticism of the death-making systems and repressive cultures leading us toward planetary catastrophe and collapse. What results is a poetic call for working-class movements everywhere to gather up our ghosts, of which there are many, and set them free.
