Courage for Racial Justice, Courage for Collective Liberation

Start: Friday, March 17, 2017 7:00 PM

Join us for an evening with Chris Crass on "Courage for Racial Justice, Courage for Collective Liberation " hosted by Together We Will Orange County.

We must rise, with our vision, our values, our communities, our courage, for racial justice and collective liberation. With the Movement for Black Lives and the Indigenous Nations-led struggle at Standing Rock, the movement for racial justice continues to move us all forward. In this time of mass incarceration, mass deportation, anti-Muslim sentiment, profound economic inequality, and the election of Trump, all of our social justice movements are coming together to build powerful resistance to the death culture. Additionally, people of all backgrounds are becoming active for the first time and looking for direction, as many are horrified by what the election of Trump means for our country. Join us for a talk and discussion with longtime anti-racist/collective liberation organizer, author, and educator Chris Crass to explore how we can all rise for racial justice and work for collective liberation in these times.

* There is a $5-10 suggested donation at the door to help cover venue rental

This event will be livestreamed to the Together We Will USA Facebook page.
