The Four Pivots: Reimagining Justice, Reimaging Ourselves

Curated by Adrian Ruiz

My favorite read of the year calls out the false narratives and myths of social movements and gives us a bold and courageous guide on how to move forward by practicing what Dr. Ginwright calls the four pivots. The four pivots are:

Awareness: from lens to mirror
Connection: from transactional to transformative relationships
Vision: from problem-fixing to possibility-creating
Presence: from hustle to flow

“Reading this courageous book feels like the beginning of a social and personal awakening…I can’t stop thinking about it.”—Brené Brown, PhD, author of Atlas of the Heart
