Firestorm BooksAt the end of last year, while reading Rebecca Solnit's "A Paradise Built in Hell," many of us encountered the idea of "post-traumatic growth"—a sort of inverse PTSD, where individuals experience increased resilience, strengthened relationships, and personal empowerment as a result of a traumatic event. Excited by this phenomenon (and our own brush with it), a member of our reading group has worked with a friend in clinical psychology to facilitate a presentation and deeper conversation about the power of community in uncertain times.Please join us on Tuesday at 6:30pm for an in-person discussion and workshop that draws on academic research and our own experiences as disaster survivors to explore the idea of post-traumatic growth!More information can be found at <a href="https://firestorm.coop/events/3381-together-we-rise.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://firestorm.coop/events/3381-together-we-rise.html</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostTraumaticGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostTraumaticGrowth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PTSD</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HurricaneHelene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HurricaneHelene</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAidDisasterRelief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualAidDisasterRelief</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeKeepUsSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeKeepUsSafe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FeministBookstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FeministBookstore</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirestormCoop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirestormCoop</a> (- L)

Firestorm BooksNext weekend Firestorm will be hosting author David Vaina for an in-person conversation with local Appalachian organizers about his new book "On-Ramps to a New Civil Society: Mutual Aid at the Edges of the Anthropocene," an autonomist reimagining of labor, value, mutual aid, and revolution.

Firestorm BooksOur bookstore is no stranger to unwanted government attention; we’ve been threatened by city officials, visited by the FBI, and surveilled by police. Historically, the investigation and prosecution of activists has aimed to disrupt our movements for change, sow fear and isolation among participants, break intergenerational bonds, and criminalize struggles for freedom. But we can overcome these attacks through principled action and uncompromising solidarity.Firestorm has made the following commitments: • We will minimize non-required collection and storage of information about customers, authors, event participants, and others who engage with our co-op. • We will resist, and publicly disclose, any attempt to obtain such information when it exists. • We will decline to answer questions from police and government agents. • We will fight any court or government subpoena, process, or demand for records, testimony, or evidence. • We will support those in our community who face state repression, regardless of “guilt” or “innocence.” • We will retain legal counsel to defend our freedom to not cooperate with the State.We know that these actions cannot guarantee safety for our members or community, but to cooperate in the face of our own repression, or the repression of others, would be a profoundly unsafe betrayal. Noncooperation is both the ethical and strategic position for those who want to build a new world, but must contend with the old one.Find our entire statement, including linked references, at <a href="https://firestorm.coop/noncooperation.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://firestorm.coop/noncooperation.html</a>.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreedomToRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreedomToRead</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StateRepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StateRepression</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CoopsNotCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoopsNotCops</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anarchism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FeministBookstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FeministBookstore</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirestormCoop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirestormCoop</a>📸: Daniel Barlow
