Barnard Hall LL003

In a time of spreading authoritarianism and social atomization, what does organizing with everyday people for a just world look like? What can we learn from the Global South about how to face dangerous times? Join us for a panel discussion on these questions with dynamic social movement organizers and human rights activists from Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa. Moderated by Professor Abosede George.
