New York Times–bestselling author adrienne maree brown knows we need each other more than ever and offers a practice for holding collective power, righting wrongs, and generating true belonging.
Ethical, pondering, and wondrous, adrienne maree brown’s Loving Corrections is a collection of love-based adjustments and reframes to grow our movements for liberation while navigating a society deeply fractured by greed, racism, and war.

Filled with practical wisdom on how to be a trustworthy communicator while providing bold visions for a shared future, Loving Corrections can speak to everyone caught in the crossroads of our political challenges and potential. No matter how new to the struggle, or how numerous our failures, brown’s indispensable writing is an invitation to us all.

Lanelle J, Reviewer
‘Loving Corrections’ is the most recent addition to the Emergent Strategy series, edited and at times written by adrienne maree brown. This series offers practical guidance and suggestions for fostering collective power and belonging in our fractured world.
If you are a human living on this spinning rock we call Earth, then this book is for you. Lifelong activists and newbies alike will undoubtedly find something paradigm-shifting within these pages. Navigating life in this wild and chaotic world is often confusing and exhausting, but it feels a little easier when we have the opportunity to learn from and with great thinkers like amb. I found myself feeling seen, grounded, and encouraged every time I picked up this book.
In ‘Loving Corrections," adrienne maree brown speaks directly to those who most need to hear hard - and sometime softer - truths, encouraging readers to take what is relevant to them and pass on what isn’t. She has a remarkable ability to capture and impart wisdom in an incredibly accessible and direct manner. At times, this book felt like an extended conversation with a friend.
I found myself taking numerous notes and jotting down thoughts, along with further reading suggestions that amb offers beyond her own wisdom. They encourage readers to reflect on how we can grow, what we can share, and what we can add to. This framework was immensely helpful for my own brain’s retention and understanding, and I am confident it will be equally helpful for my fellow activists.
I am excited to get my hands on a physical copy of this book so I can re-absorb, annotate, and share this gem with my loved ones.
Thanks to NetGalley and AK Press for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own.
