Dear Friend,
In recent months, we've seen the consequences of "U.S. exceptionalism"
unfold in Afghanistan, Haiti, as well as at the U.S./Mexico border. The
sobering truth is U.S. exceptionalism is a complex set of ideas that
sees the United States as exempt from and in some cases, superior to
international accountability and historical realities. Activists across
justice movements have named the real negative impacts of these myths
and the racist actions and policies that support them. From political
prisoners to border militarization, U.S. exceptionalism hides its
undemocratic impacts while claiming a democratic vision.
Join us this Thursday, October 14th for the newest installment of our
#RaceAnd The Movement Forward series –– #RaceAnd U.S. Exceptionalism:
Organizing Against Empire

will be a online presentation that will provide a framework for those
centering anti-militaristic and anti-imperialism in their racial justice
analysis and organizing as well as those who are wanting to incorporate
a global solidarity lens to their work here in the U.S.
Other themes that will be explored include:
Framing of U.S. exceptionalism – p erspectives by organizers from
different vantage points of the U.S. human rights movements
The concrete harms and visible cracks within the ideas and policies of
U.S. exceptionalism
Analysis of U.S. imperialism, and experiences of being a part of
solidarity movements
