Committed to Build While We Fight

After Beautiful Trouble Comes Beautiful Solutions

Our hearts have been torn open for a long time for many reasons, from the genocide in Gaza to the relentless machine of incarceration, to the staggering number of people left without homes, to name just a few. 

Strap in, we’re barreling toward a reality where humanity faces an amplified, unprecedented crisis. The incoming Trump presidency in the US is yet another modern blueprint heralding catastrophe—a malignant machine fueled by the same kind of desperation that once put Hitler into power and is giving rise to authoritarian regimes in many places around the world right now. This crisis is global, interconnected, a spider’s web of rot.

But our responsibility right now is not only to fight fascism but to build a future that serves all of us. There’s a spark out there—inside the pages of Beautiful Solutions, over seventy voices calling from the brink of possibility, insisting another world isn’t some far-off hallucination but a live wire right under our feet. Everything we need to build that world is here. Food sovereignty, debt abolition, folk schools, energy democracy—it’s already happening, from the resilient neighborhoods of Argentina to the farmlands of Zimbabwe.

Grab this book if you’re ready to dream of a world built on community and justice, not profit and power. It’s a toolbox for those itching for real possibilities for the people. Roll up your sleeves, get ready to fight, and know you’re not alone.

We have plenty of experience facing crises. Many of us, especially those from marginalized communities, have been resisting, surviving, and finding ways to flourish since time immemorial. We know how to care for each other and work collectively when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.

We are one spark among many. Just as the ocean is made of countless drops of water, our movements and resistance are filled with millions and millions of efforts and solutions. Together, we create the tides of change with the new toolbox of Beautiful Solutions, crafted with the New Economy Coalition, People’s Hub, and the Highlander Center.
