 https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2021-01-21/black-and-white-double-standard-capitol-hill-siege\n\nLivestream:

 link (free for members)\n\nThe world watched in horror as members of the 
 alt-right stormed Capitol Hill in an effort to overturn the results of the 
 2020 election. What we also witnessed was a stark and irrefutable 
 difference between the way law enforcement reacted to the siege in 
 comparison to the \nviolent force often used at Black Lives Matter marches 
 and other peaceful protests involving marginalized communities.\n\nWhat is 
 the relationship between the police, white supremacy and the American right 
 to protest? How does our country define “terrorism,” both culturally 
 and in the eyes of the law? And, importantly, what can we learn from the 
 Capitol attacks to help BIPOC organizers continue their fight against 
 injustice in 2021 and beyond?\n\nJoin us at INFORUM with noted activist and 
 prior co-founder BLM, Alicia Garza, and Representative for California's 
 13th congressional district Barbara Lee, where we will explore this 
 historic moment and what this all means for communities of color in a 
 post-Trump 
 America.\n_____________________________________________________________\n\nABOUT:
