DESCRIPTION:Oneof the country's leading organizers and a co-creator of Black Lives 
 Matter, Alicia Garza's work has helped shape the discourse on activism and 
 empowerment for more than a decade.  \n\nIn 2013, Alicia wrote what she 
 called "a love letter to Black people" on Facebook, in the aftermath of the 
 acquittal of the man who murdered seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin. She 
 wrote: Black people. I love you. I love us. Our lives matter. \n \nLong 
 before #BlackLivesMatter became a rallying cry for this generation, Alicia 
 spent the better part of two decades learning and unlearning some hard 
 lessons about organizing. The lessons she offers are different from the 
 "rules for radicals" that animated earlier generations of activists, and 
 diverge from the charismatic, patriarchal model of the American civil 
 rights movement.  \n \nIn her latest book, The Purpose of Power, Alicia 
 reflects instead on how making room amongst the woke for those who are 
 still awakening can inspire and activate more people to fight for the world 
 we all deserve. Drawing on both her life and her work, Alicia shares a new 
 paradigm for change for the next generation of change-makers. \n\nJoin 
 performer, social worker, and activist Honey Mahogany for a powerful 
 conversation with Alicia about her life, her work, and how to build 
 transformative movements to address the challenges of our time.\n\nFree, 
 suggested donation of $20.\n
