But What Can I do ?

“But What Can I Do?” is written and published by Xan Joi, a self-proclaimed radical Jewish and white lesbian anti-racist womonist/feminist activist and author. It is an inspiring communiqué aimed at creating a common, shared knowledge base from which to foment individual and collective action dismantling patriarchy’s racism, war, misogyny and creating the kind of society we want all to thrive in!

Since 9/11, Xan has driven over 500,000 miles around the country in her veggie-oil powered box truck, all four sides of which are mobile billboards emblazoned with large, pointed anti-war, anti-violence, pro-peace, pro-empowerment missives.

Xan shares her stories of interactions and understandings with both the ‘choir’, the ‘other’ and everyone in between. Her wisdom and expertise have grown out of over 60 plus years of experience and activism.

Today, in addition to facing the threat of impending annihilation – including that of our entire planet and not ‘just’ a race, land or a country – we are reeling from the results of the last presidential election that put overtly fascist, white supremacist billionaires in power.

Even though this book was written prior to this most recent fascist coup, it is important to know both the truth about our history as well as the lies so our actions and the society we want to create are built on our real values and not myths to manipulate and violate humans and Mother Earth in the race to exploit and become ‘rich’, or as MAGA says ‘great’.

Many people, previously unaware, are also suddenly feeling the intense pain of ‘waking up’ and the critical need to engage in some kind of action.

“But What Can I Do?” offers answers to that very question.
