~~
Amidst the surge in federal immigration enforcement, our communities are experiencing rapid change. And yet, so many things remain the same. We understand that the fight against state violence and white supremacy has existed for hundreds of years before us, and that the current resistance against ICE in Minneapolis has deep roots in Black, Indigenous, immigrant, and working-class liberation movements.
In this study group, we will move through conversation grounded in abolitionist studies to understand and uplift the layers of truth that are moving around us currently. We will discuss themes such as imperialism, anti-blackness, and criminalization to make sense of how different communities respond to violence. Join us to study, discuss, and consider what more is possible when we are together.
This study group is hosted by REP’s Radical Ecosystem Pods team. We will gather in-person to collectively read and discuss a selected text. Our schedule dates are - Monday, February 23rd; Monday, March 2nd; and Tuesday, March 10th. No pre-reading is required. Snacks and sparkling water will be available free of cost. Sessions will use the following agenda:
1. Open the space at 5 PM
2. Welcome & check-in at 5:30 PM
3. Group read aloud of text
4. Discussion & reflection
5. Closing at 7 PM
