Join us from 2pm on Sunday 22nd February at the Cowley Club for a book talk with Laura Forster and Joel White on their new book: Friends in Common Radical Friendship and Everyday Solidarities.

Book talk with Laura Forster and Joel White

We’ll explore how friendship is vital to building our communities and movements, but how its transformative potential is heavily policed and restrained by the state. Understanding the radical possibilities of friendship can help us rethink our approach to family, work and politics and show us how friendship as a political practice is foundational to strengthening revolutionary ideas and projects, and is the antidote to capitalist despair.
