Join us at @brooklynlaw tomorrow for this conversation with @profhuq, organized by BLS students from @BLPECollective! @lpe_nyc.
Today’s social movements are meeting the existential crises of our time with vision, scale, and infrastructure. They reflect a growing sense that neoliberal law and politics have failed the majority. Join us for a discussion tomorrow. Time: 5pm-6:30PM.ALL ARE WELCOME.

I'm learning so much from this @LPEblog @MovementLawLab symposium. Like when I got to this moment in today's post: "what better way to subjugate people to a specific political and economic order than to dismantle networks of solidarity between individuals and communities?".

Thank you @dnbrgr for this beautiful review of my & @orisanmi's books!. "Yesterday’s tactics are unlikely to secure tomorrow’s victories. The past offers an orientation, not an instruction manual, and successful struggle often requires an improvisational response to the moment.".
In reviews, @dnbrgr reviews @orisanmi’s Tip of the Spear and @j_simonson’s Radical Acts of Justice, bringing together an account of prison revolts and their aftermaths and the recent wave of anticarceral organizing. An extremely useful, clarifying piece.
