The New Queer Conscience | Adam Eli
5 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
Pocket Change Collective was born out of a need for space. Space to think. Space to connect. Space to be yourself. And this is your invitation to join us. "The new manifesto for how we as queer people could and should navigate the world. It's the holding hand I never had--but wish I did."--Troye Sivan, Golden Globe nominated-singer, songwriter, and actor "With the persistence of queerphobia all around the world, this book is absolutely necessary, even vital."--Édouard Louis, internationally bestselling author of History of Violence "To Eli's credit, all of the rules are rooted in considerations of conscience and kindness and, if observed, will make a better world--as will this book."--Booklist, starred review "Small but mighty necessary reading."-- Kirkus Reviews In The New Queer Conscience, LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli argues the urgent need for queer responsibility -- that queers anywhere are responsible for queers everywhere. Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists. In this installment, The New Queer Conscience, Voices4 Founder and LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli offers a candid and compassionate introduction to queer responsibility. Eli calls on his Jewish faith to underline how kindness and support within the queer community can lead to a stronger global consciousness. More importantly, he reassures us that we're not alone. In fact, we never were. Because if you mess with one queer, you mess with us all.

It's 3:50am where I'm at in the world. It‘s so early its still silent on the main city parkway I live by. The completeness of the silence and darkness made me hesitate to break it, to turn on a light. So I crept precariously to the sink for a glass of water and crept back to bed. Too early to be up in my opinion...but it's never too early for reading! 🤓. So I'm happily moving on another Pocket Change Collective book!

This short book - almost a manifesto - brings up a lot of meaningful conversations that are often ignored. Adam Eli, a gay, Jewish cisgender man, highlights the point of starting to think about the idea of queerness as a global community. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the Pocket Change Collective!

I‘m at 6hr 40 min for #AnyWayYouReadathon

"Once we recognize our privilege, the next question must be: How do we leverage our privilege and our resources for the benefit of all members of our community—specifically, the most vulnerable? How do we break down the systems that granted us these unearned privileges to begin with?"
