Thursday, July 9, 7pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

This webinar is designed to be responsive to the political moment that we are in, as we witness increasing state repression against people and organizations rising up to #DefundThePolice and #DefendBlackLives.

Many new people are stepping into this moment, and we need to build a strong movement culture, grounded in movement history, that will prepare us for resisting the ways the state tries to weaken and destroy our movements.

In particular, we know that white supremacy conditions white folks to see the state as protective, not as a threat, and we need to commit ourselves to not being a weak link in a chain of resistance.

This webinar will do the following:

• draw on the lessons from COINTELPRO, the government program designed to destroy the movements of Black, Indigenous and people of color-led movements of the 60s,

• outline the various tactics used against our movements currently and the ways we can counter them: lessons from Standing Rock, resisting the Black Identity Extremist label, etc.,

• offer some “know your rights” basics, and

• orient us to a collective, not merely individual, sense of safety and security in the face of repression.
