#### The Literature & Ladle Society (Book Club’s) 2 Sunday sessions: Burnout @9am & This Is the Plan* 5pm CDT – ZOOM
#### _This fall, The Ladle & Literature Society—also known as the Sorting Soup Book Club—offers two routes into the work of sustaining ourselves and building power._
_Beginning Sunday, August 30, we’ll gather around books that take both the personal toll of organizing and the practical work of winning seriously. Choose the conversation that best meets the moment—or join both, because the mess is multifaceted and, frankly, so are we._
#### Let us know you will be attending either the 9am or 5 pm or both by RSVPing here -> https://mobilize.us/s/30D6NR
#### Sunday @ 9 am ..Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle
*Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle* by Emily and Amelia Nagoski explores why stress lingers in our bodies long after the immediate crisis has passed, and how we can interrupt the cycle through rest, connection, movement, boundaries, and joy. Organizers are regularly asked to absorb urgency, outrage, grief, and other people’s needs; without ways to process that load, exhaustion becomes a predictable political outcome.
This discussion is for anyone who wants to build a practice of care sturdy enough to support the long haul—because a movement cannot afford to treat its people as disposable.
#### Sunday @ 5 pm … This Is the Plan* by Ben Wikler
If self-care is not your jam, *This Is the Plan* by Ben Wikler offers a clear-eyed, battle-tested guide to turning frustration into durable political power.
Drawing on organizing lessons from Wisconsin and beyond, Wikler emphasizes disciplined planning, real relationships, broad coalitions, and the unglamorous infrastructure required to win.
It is an antidote to doomscrolling and magical thinking: organized people change what looks inevitable by showing up, making a plan, and bringing others with them.
