Opening Teach-in
“This Demands an Abolitionist Reckoning: Racism,
Fascism, the Convoy Protest, and the Global Expansion of White Supremacy
and White Ethnonationalism”
How
do we understand the rise of the ultra-right, ethnonationalists,
fascists and racists movements taking place globally witnessed recently
with the convoy protest? What does this mean for Indigenous struggles,
migrant rights, Black protests, anti-racism, anti-Islamaphobic, queer
and trans rights? How should we actively be mobilizing and organizing
for liberation, freedom, and abolition internationally in these times?
These questions and more will be taken up by the panelists in this
teach-in.
