SUMMARY:Join us for a book launch of 'Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits'
DESCRIPTION:Alabama Arise is excited to invite you to a book launch event for the memoir Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits\, written by one of Arise’s founders\, Angie Wright. We will come together to mingle with the author\, hear a reading and host community conversation about the book and its themes with fellow supporters of a better Alabama for all. \nBook launch of ‘Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits’\nThursday\, March 19\, 2026\n5:30 – 7 p.m.\n \nKress Building\nCommunity Room\n39 Dexter Ave.\nMontgomery\, AL 36104 \nAngie Wright\, author and Arise co-founder\, and the cover of her book\, ‘Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits’\nPlease let us know below if you plan to attend! More information about the book\, its themes and how to order a copy are listed under the form. Please reach out to senior development associate McKenzie Burton at mckenzie@alarise.org if you have any further questions. \n \nAbout the book \n \nOrder your copy today at this link! \nHow do we stay in the fight for justice over the long haul without losing our minds or our souls? For 45 years\, Rev. Angie Wright has fought for racial justice and immigrant rights in Alabama and the South.  \nThe animating question of her life and work has been how to stand against hate without hating the haters — no small order for a white Southern pastor and activist whose family’s legacy was corrupted by racism and antisemitism.\n\nRev. Wright’s memoir\, Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits\, explores questions most of us have to face at some time in our lives: How do we reconsider our relationship with people we’ve been taught to hate and fear? And when others wreak harm on us or our communities\, can we respond in ways that summon their humanity while protecting our own? \nThe book addresses many important questions\, such as: \n\nHow do we sustain ourselves in the enduring struggle for justice\, without losing our souls and our minds?\nHow do we stand against hate without hating the haters?\nHow do we handle personal and public betrayals?\nHow do we respond to people we’ve been taught to fear or hate?\n\nRSVP for the book launch today!
