“One of the strengths of the book, then, is that it provides a repository of first-hand accounts of how people organized and fostered community during this time of crisis. It stands as a lasting time capsule of the lived experience of political and social organizers, and as such constitutes a valuable resource for scholars continuing to wrestle with the social, political and economic dynamics of COVID-19.” (Jordan Liz, Marx & Philosophy Reviews of Books, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, June 4, 2025)
