Calling In
How to Start Making Change with Those You'd Rather Cancel
Book • 2025
This book is a memoir, manifesto, and handbook that outlines Loretta Ross's philosophy of 'calling in' as a more effective and compassionate approach to addressing conflicts and making social change.
Ross shares her personal story, including her work at the Washington, DC Rape Crisis Center and her interactions with a man in prison who wanted to learn how to stop being a rapist.
She argues that calling people in, rather than calling them out, involves holding them accountable with love and respect, focusing on shared values over punishment.
The book provides practical advice on how to apply this approach in various settings, such as the workplace, college campuses, and personal relationships.
