Organizing in Our Political Climate W/Jordan Flaherty

From ice raids, muslim bands, anti-LGBTQ legislation, cuts on access to women’s health, our current political climate continues to disproportionatly target working, queer, and communities of color by limiting access, criminalizing, and exploiting.

For many communities, the only way to survive is to stay organized and resist. How can we manuver in this system while protecting the most vulnerably? The community panel and platica will touch on these issues and discuss ways to organize our communities.

The discussion will begin with Jordan Flaherty presenting his new book, “No More Heroes,” and conclude with a panel of community members and organizers.

“No More Heroes explores the growing response to these dynamics: grassroots and street-based uprisings like the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, and Black Lives Matter, creating accountable movements focused on real, systemic change.”

This event is free and open to the public.
