Full Description: 

The panel will look at anti-racist struggle as a framework for the building of a movement for racial justice from New Orleans to Gaza, from Juarez to Bi’lin. The workshop will then discuss implications for building joint struggles against racism experienced by communities in the US and those impacted by US policies abroad, with a specific focus on US support for Israel.

Panelists will share ideas on the meaning of joint struggle, examples of successful joint struggle, and challenges and barriers to working together across communities and struggles. The workshop hopes to advance principles for joint struggle, identify shared demands across our struggles, and discuss opportunities for working together in the year ahead.
