Book Talk: You Only Get What You’re Organized to Take: Lessons From the Movement to End Poverty
Hello UniteBoston friends and colleagues,
Devlin and I are excited to invite you to a special gathering of leaders as part of the National Book Tour Stop in Massachusetts for the new release:
You Only Get What You’re Organized to Take: Lessons from the Movement to End Poverty
by Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and Noam Sandweiss-Back of the Kairos Center

Learn more about the book
This is more than a book tour—it’s an interfaith movement that aims to strengthen community-led movements for housing, food, wages, water, land, immigrant rights, peace, belonging, and more.
Jesus said that he came to set the oppressed free (Lk 4:18) – As Christian leaders, we are called to be part of this moral and spiritual awakening—to organize from the ground up, led by those most impacted, and loving the ‘least of these’ (Mt 25:40) as rooted in the prophetic call for economic justice and human dignity.
We believe this is a kairos moment—a Spirit-led opportunity to build relationships, deepen shared commitments, and explore how the Christian community, alongside our interfaith partners, can actively support and lead in this movement for justice and survival.

In hope and solidarity,
-Rev. Kelly & Rev. Devlin
