An intersectional chronicle, rich in detail, of decades of movement histories.

Waiting for the Wave taps the brains of Rebecca Gordon and Jan Adams for the secret to building grassroots resistance movements with the grit and traction to prevail against increasingly grim odds. The interviews delve into four decades of in-the-weeds activism, internationalism, and radical feminism. From what went wrong with the Nicaraguan revolution, to the possibilities for Palestine to the need to reach across divides and talk to people you think you can't stand, Rebecca and Jan cast a loving but unflinching lens on social movements they have been a part of.

The three writers and educators discuss the role of radical media in sustaining activism, acting as placeholders for nascent movements, and helping people find each other from remote places. Rebecca and Jan have not always won, but they've always learned and pushed each other to be bold, empathetic, and hold onto belief in their fellow humans. Their conversations are an unruly journey laced with energy and humor that will leave you feeling invigorated and inspired to keep moving forward.
