The introduction starts this book off strong, with a call to start positive change at the micro level, not the macro level. "We can't wait for top-down change to engender alternatives. Rather, grassroots efforts are an essential part of world building."

Benjamin calls attention to historical and modern injustices at large while at the same time showcasing individuals and the way every single act of community matters to build each other up. 

Accompanied by various personal anecdotes, there is a constant callback to individual help and support and how we prop each other up, how we can support each other on the individual and community level.

Benjamin asks, "in addition to pushing for a stronger public safety net, how else do we cultivate collective well-being?" The answer to this and any other questions of how to implement viral justice is, of course, building connections with individuals, a safety net around our community with mutual support and accountability.
