THE NEW QUEER CONSCIENCE

Adam Eli

First volume in the new Pocket Change Collective, the first series that gives activists a platform to speak directly to young readers on today's most pressing issues.
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.

Adam Eli is a community organizer and writer in New York City. He is the founder of Voices4, a nonviolent direct-action activist group committed to advancing global queer liberation and was included in Out Magazine's100 most influential queer people of 2018.

...this small book is large in ideas about being LGBTQIAA+ in today's sometimes-fraught world... all of the rules are rooted in considerations of conscience and kindness and, if observed, will make a better world - as will this book.

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.

With the persistence of queerphobia all around the world, this book is absolutely necessary, even vital.
