From Rebellion to Revolution w/ Khury Petersen-Smith & more (Socialism 2020) (7-4-20)

Join Jesse Hagopian, Amelia Blair-Smith, and Khury Petersen-Smith for a discussion of this summer’s uprising and how we can envision and build a revolutionary future. This event is part of the Socialism 2020 Virtual conference. Register for the conference at www.socialismconference.org. The racist police murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and countless others have catalyzed a massive nationwide rebellion like nothing experienced in many of our lifetimes. The rebellions of this summer have achieved immediate wins and also faced harsh repression. We know these upsurges are not going away, though, because the causes of oppression and police violence have not gone away. This panel will discuss how we build on the mass anger and mobilizations of the present rebellion to carry out a full-scale, revolutionary transformation of our society. Socialism 2020 is sponsored by Haymarket Books, Jacobin, and the Democratic Socialists of America.
