A Pocket-Sized Call for Queer Solidarity and Ethical Activism The New Queer Conscience is part of the Pocket Change Collective series, small books with bold messages from today’s most urgent voices. In this powerful installment, LGBTQIA+ activist and Voices4 founder Adam Eli weaves his personal history, Jewish values, and years of organizing experience into a passionate guide for collective care and responsibility within the queer community. At its heart, this book is a manifesto: queer people everywhere are connected, and we owe each other safety, visibility, and support. Eli’s message is as much about activism as it is about empathy, reminding readers that none of us are alone, and we never were.
