Film Discussion
Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution
In the early 1970s, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation, discrimination and institutionalization. Camp Jened, a ramshackle camp “for the handicapped” (a term no longer used) in the Catskills, exploded those confines. Jened was their freewheeling Utopia, a place with summertime sports, smoking and make-out sessions awaiting everyone, and campers experienced liberation and full inclusion as human beings. Their bonds endured as many migrated West to Berkeley, California — a hotbed of activism where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption, civil disobedience, and political participation could change the future for millions.

Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds - adrienne maree brown
Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown is a book that explores how complex systems and patterns arise from simple interactions. Inspired by Octavia Butler, the book offers a materialist "spirituality" based on science and science fiction. It discusses principles such as interdependence, decentralization, and resilience, aiming to shape the futures we want to live.
