One week from today, our post-Helene reading group is back with a very appropriate new book pick! Participants will be reading "Theory of Water: Nishnaabe Maps to the Times Ahead" by renowned scholar and activist Leanne Betasamosake Simpson.

New folks welcome! 🌊❄️💧

"Theory of Water" is a resonant exploration of an intricate, multi-layered relationship with the most abundant element on our planet—one that is shaping our present even as it demands a radical rethinking of how we might achieve a just future. Copies are available at a discount from our co-op and will be made available without charge to participants who cannot afford a purchase.

This series is co-facilitated by Lauren Miller and will include four sessions bisected by a potluck. Additional details and schedule can be found at firestorm.coop/events/3423-the.

FEMA in the news

“Trump suggested he would respond more effectively to voters in NC, and two of the hardest-hit counties there, Avery and Haywood, backed him in 2024 by margins of 75.7% and 61.8%, respectively, similar to those it had given him in 2016 and 2020.

Once in office, though, Trump began to talk of eliminating FEMA. Now the WH has told NC residents they’re on their own as they try to dig out from Hurricane Helene.”

Care to join us for a two part discussion of Robin Wall Kimmerer's "The Serviceberry"? Our Disaster Reading Group, which has been meeting since shortly after Hurricane Helene, has picked this essay-length book on mutuality in nature for the May 12th and June 2nd meetings! This is a perfect chance for new folks to jump in 🤠

As Kimmerer explains, “Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.”

"The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World" is a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world. This series is co-facilitated by Lauren Miller.

On May 12th, we're discussing pages 1 through 50 but you're welcome to join us even if you can't complete the reading! Learn more and find discounted copies of the book at firestorm.coop/events/3392-the

At the end of last year, while reading Rebecca Solnit's "A Paradise Built in Hell," many of us encountered the idea of "post-traumatic growth"—a sort of inverse PTSD, where individuals experience increased resilience, strengthened relationships, and personal empowerment as a result of a traumatic event. Excited by this phenomenon (and our own brush with it), a member of our reading group has worked with a friend in clinical psychology to facilitate a presentation and deeper conversation about the power of community in uncertain times.

Please join us on Tuesday at 6:30pm for an in-person discussion and workshop that draws on academic research and our own experiences as disaster survivors to explore the idea of post-traumatic growth!

Next weekend Firestorm will be hosting author David Vaina for an in-person conversation with local Appalachian organizers about his new book "On-Ramps to a New Civil Society: Mutual Aid at the Edges of the Anthropocene," an autonomist reimagining of labor, value, mutual aid, and revolution. They'll discuss the present moment of institutional decline, where a political void has emerged in addressing our collective needs, and how mutual aid can contribute to the development of a radically new society.

Learn more and find copies of "On-Ramps to a New Civil Society" at firestorm.coop/events/3331-mut.
