DESCRIPTION:This is the first in a two-part series of events with Black anarchists and 
 authors in the Bay Area. For the second event, visit 
 https://driving-the-movement-jonina-2025.eventbrite.com/.\n\nIt’s no 
 secret our communities and the movements to defend them are under attack. 
 Fascists relentlessly heighten political repression, using despair to 
 overwhelm and immobilize us. Movement veterans who survived great 
 sacrifices in their struggles against racist state oppression remind us 
 that we have been here before—and that we can withstand it again. Now, 
 more than ever, we must learn from them how to organize under dire 
 circumstances.\n\nLorenzo Kom’Boa Ervin was a member of the Student 
 Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and then shortly after, the 
 Chattanooga branch of the Black Panther Party (BPP). While incarcerated for 
 his contributions to the revolutionary struggle, Lorenzo connected Black 
 liberation struggles to anarchist theory through writing, foremost of which 
 is the contemporary classic Anarchism and the Black Revolution. Since then, 
 he has continued to build social movements across the American South, the 
 country, and the globe.\n\nAt this community conversation brought to you by 
 Black Rose Anarchist Federation - Bay Area and Oakland Public Library, 
 Lorenzo will reflect on JoNina Abron-Ervin's new book Driven by the 
 Movement: Reports from the Black Power Era to share lessons about how we 
 can fight and survive fascist violence to bring a new, better world into 
 being.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2025/09/11/18879762.php
