Socialist Night School: Undoing Racialized Power, Poverty and Wealth: Socialism as Antidote to U.S. Capitalism's White Supremacy
October 12th, 6:30PM

REGISTER

It's hard enough to have racial justice with capitalists because the system is built on inequality and scarcity, real and perceived. But, in addition, U.S. capital and power was built on the genocide and displacement of Indigenous people and the enslaved labor of Black people and so power/wealth has racists roots. How can socialists begin to address the legacies and realities of racialized wealth and power within our ranks and the world at large?
