Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown is a must-read for anyone doing organizing work (as are all her books, especially Emergent Strategy, but this is the one I started with): https://www.akpress.org/pleasure-activism.html

Audre Lorde’s essay “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power” was essential reading for me. Find it here.
