DESCRIPTION:Internationally recognized author and organizer Alicia Garza will be in 
 conversation with Bay Area author/organizer James Tracy. The two long-time 
 friends and collaborators will explore the promises and perils of coalition 
 building in the 21st Century.\n\nAgainst the tides of rising seas and 
 rising reaction, organizers ask, “What does it mean to work together 
 today? How can progressive coalitions be built to the scale that these 
 times demand? What does it take to fight for what we hold in common without 
 erasure? How can progressive organizations build realistic coalitions to 
 advance justice and ultimately win? What examples from past movements 
 provide clues for today? What strategies and models won’t work 
 anymore?"\n\nAlicia Garza believes that Black communities deserve what all 
 communities deserve – to be powerful in every aspect of their lives. An 
 author, political strategist, organizer and cheeseburger enthusiast, Alicia 
 founded the Black Futures Lab to make Black communities powerful in 
 politics. She is the co-creator of #BlackLivesMatter and the Black Lives 
 Matter Global Network, and serves as the Strategy & Partnerships Director 
 for the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and is co-founder of 
 Supermajority, a new home for women’s activism. Alicia is the author of 
 the acclaimed book, The Purpose of Power: How We Come Together When We Fall 
 Apart (One World Penguin Random House.)\n\nJames Tracy is the Chair of 
 Labor & Community Studies at City College of San Francisco. Organizing most 
 of his adult life, he has been part of housing, economic justice and racial 
 justice campaigns. He is the co-author of Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban 
 Race Rebels and Black Power, Interracial Organizing in the 60’s and 70s 
 New Left (Melville House) and No Fascist USA! The John Brown Anti-Klan 
 Committee and Lessons For Today’s Movements (City Lights/Open 
 Media).\n\nEvent at 7pm, doors at 6:30pm. Please be vaxxed and masks 
 strongly encouraged. Thanks!\n
