SUMMARY:Organizing in Our Political Climate W/Jordan Flaherty
DESCRIPTION: \nFrom 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. \nFor 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. \nThe discussion will begin with Jordan Flaherty presenting his new book\, “No More Heroes\,” and conclude with a panel of community members and organizers. \n“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.” \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nAbout Jordan Flaherty:\n“Jordan Flaherty is an award-winning journalist\, producer\, and author. He has appeared as a guest on a wide range of television and radio shows\, including CNN Morning\, Anderson Cooper 360\, CNN Headline News\, RT America\, the Alan Colmes Show on Fox\, and News and Notes on NPR.
