Full Description: 

For the past three years the Team Colors Collective has been asking organizers, activists, artists, and theorists -- Will you join us in the middle of a whirlwind? -- as we have sought to understand the current composition and strength of radical movements in the United States. In utilizing the metaphor of a whirlwind to describe the myriad of struggles that are taking place currently and those that have been blowing across the planet over the past decade, Team Colors has conducted an inquiry and examination of movements in the United States. In cooperation with other organizers and activists, we will present during this two-hour workshop, on the importance of research to movement building as we seek a return radical community organizing—toward making a revolution possible!
