DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion on the impact of the post-9/11 “global 
 security” framework on communities fighting for their rights.\n\nDate and 
 time: Tue, September 7, 2021 @ 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM PDT\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/whose-security-communities-resisting-post-911-global-security-framework-tickets-168610473465\n\n\nIn 
 this inaugural event of a 4-part series marking the 20th anniversary of 
 9/11, artists, lawyers and scholars will be reflecting on the impact of the 
 post-9/11 “global security” framework on communities fighting for their 
 rights to be, to move, to believe and to resist.\n\nFrom the indefinite 
 detention of Muslim men in Guantanamo, to the unending repression of the 
 Black freedom movement, to suppression of advocacy for Palestine, and to 
 the racist immigration and border regimes, panelists will trace the harms 
 of post-9/11 policies with an emphasis on the ever-expanding terrorism 
 framework. The conversation will highlight stories of creative resistance 
 to U.S. policies of criminalization and dehumanization, and point towards 
 new horizons of community safety and collective flourishing.\n\nMore about 
 the series, Just Resistance: 20 years of Global Struggle Against the 
 Post-9/11 Human Rights Crisis: To mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the 
 Center for Constitutional Rights, Haymarket Books and our partners are 
 pleased to present a 4-part series, "Just Resistance: 20 years of global 
 struggle against the post-9/11 human rights crisis." The series is an 
 opportunity to bring together our colleagues and comrades from impacted 
 communities across the world, to center stories of survival, and to 
 contextualize the last two decades of U.S. policy within a history of 
 imperialism, domination and impunity. Over the course of the series, we 
 will also invite audiences to imagine the next twenty years of 
 demilitarization and decolonization.\n\n***Register through Eventbrite to 
 receive a link to the video conference on the day of the event. This event 
 will also be recorded and have ASL 
 interpretation.***\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSpeakers:\n\nSadie

 system and building the capacity of grassroots members to take action.

 fora and mechanisms, and extensive experience developing advocacy 
 strategies to influence U.S. decision-makers. Her work often centers at the
