Renee Bracey Sherman will be in conversation with Amanda Brown Lierman at People’s Book in Takoma Park, Maryland!

Amanda Brown Lierman is the Senior Director for Policy and Engagement for GoFundMe and the Executive Director of GoFundMe.org, which mobilizes for crisis relief and other philanthropic causes. Amanda most recently served as the Executive Director of Supermajority, an organization focused on training and organizing women across age, race and background to build women’s political power. Amanda’s passion for community organizing was ignited through her earliest career experiences — as an intern in then-Senator Barack Obama’s office and then campaign organizer for his 2008 presidential campaign. Through simple, personal conversations and connections, Amanda learned the power that storytelling has to connect, inspire, and move people to action.

Decatur Book Festival

A love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten through a collection of essays that reposition Black women’s intellectual and political work at the center of today’s liberation movements. A vital and galvanizing history of abortion and how its stigma is intrinsically connected to racism and systemic oppression, told from the viewpoint of people of color. 

For a new generation of movement organizers and Black feminists, authors Jenn M. Jackson, Renee Bracey Sherman and Regina Mahone speak on how written perspectives shape the ongoing debate around reproductive freedom, Black feminism and how readers of all backgrounds can activate to create a more just world for everyone. 

The panel discussion will be held Saturday, October 5th at 3:00 PM on the City of Decatur Stage 1 in the Decatur B Ballroom of the Marriott Courtyard Hotel. Following the panel, authors will proceed to signing tables to autograph books.
