Book talk: Radical Justice – Building the World We Need

From Backstory English Bookshop - Events

In a world where fascists are winning elections, economic inequality is rampant, and the climate crisis is at its tipping point, it can feel like the amount of work needed to overcome these injustices is too much to handle. But what if there is a way to lower the threshold to action? Who will free us if not ourselves? In her new book Radical Justice, international human rights lawyer Nani Jansen Reventlow offers a powerful and practical guide for strengthening the movement for freedom and equality for all. Drawing on decades of legal and activist work, she shows how each of us—within our own spheres of influence—can take meaningful action toward systemic change. Inspired by anti-racist and social justice thinkers such as Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò and Angela Davis, Radical Justice moves beyond despair and into action. The book explores concrete pathways including strategic litigation, digital rights, reparations, and climate justice, while inviting readers to learn, reflect, and act in a society that often tells us change is impossible. Brandee Butler, CEO of the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) and a long-time strategist working at the intersection of human rights, philanthropy, and responsible business, will host Jansen Reventlow in conversation. Taking inspiration from the book, they will explore some of the most pressing issues of our time and, most importantly, how each of us can be the revolution. **EVENT SCHEDULE** 17:30 Walk-in and informal mingling 18:00 Conversation begins 19:00 Book signing and continued conversation 19:30 Event ends *About the speakers* **Nani Jansen Reventlow** is an internationally recognised human rights lawyer who has worked with communities, movements, courts, and international institutions to challenge structural injustice and expand civic space.

Nani has been honoured with awards from Harvard, Oxford and Columbia University, among others. **Brandee M.

La Casa Roja - International Menstrual Health Day

La Casa Roja - International Menstrual Health Day

Thu, May 28, 4:00 PM
From BARCELONA GREEN DRINKS

Culture Jam welcomes[ La Casa Roja](https://www.instagram.com/lacasaroja.barcelona/)! A space for cyclical living, women’s health, yoga and collective care. On the occasion of International Menstrual Health Day, we invite you to gather for an intimate and open conversation around menstrual health, body literacy, wellbeing and menstrual dignity. This encounter marks the beginning of La Casa Roja, a project that creates spaces for embodied wellbeing, yoga, education, dialogue, and community and planetary care through a feminist and holistic approach to women’s health. Menstrual health continues to be surrounded by silence, stigma and misinformation. Yet talking about our cycles also means talking about health, rights, emotions, work, relationships, rest and the ways we inhabit our bodies. This gathering is an invitation to reconnect with the body as a source of knowledge, intuition and collective wisdom. Together we will reflect on: • menstrual health and cyclical awareness • menstrual dignity and rights • collective care and women’s wellbeing • embodied practices, yoga and body awareness • why creating spaces for these conversations matters The event will be held in both English and Spanish. No prior knowledge is needed, only openness, curiosity and the desire to share space with others. The event will also include the presentation of La Casa Roja’s vision, future activities and community initiatives. ✨ Come as you are. ✨Non menstruators are welcome ✨ Bring a friend if you’d like. ✨ Let’s open the conversation together.
