Our appreciation goes out to all participants, supporters, and dedicated host organizations Mujeres Unidas y Activas (MUA) and Communities United for
Restorative Youth Justice (CURYJ) for ensuring the success of this Membership Assembly. Our collective work lays the foundation to determine our best movement contribution in the moment ahead. While in Oakland, we also took to the streets for a Dream Beyond Bars and Borders action, uplifting campaigns to divest from systems of harm and invest in healing, wellness, and community-controlled grassroots power. Photos from the action and the rest of the week are available in this Flickr collection
captured by Brooke Anderson — follow her at @movementphotographer. Catch up on our conversations — access recordings of the livestreamed plenaries: Getting Into Formation — Perspectives of the current political landscape from local, national and international grassroots movements featuring DouDou Pierre, Karin Nansen, Steve Williams, and Thenjiwe McHarris, moderated by Cindy Wiesner. Bridging Our Movements — A conversation between GGJ and Formerly Incarcerated, Convicted People and Families Movement (FICPFM) featuring Doresy Nunn,
George Galvis, Jessica Nowlan, and Lara Kiswani, moderated by Siwatu-Salam Ra. Power and Strategy — A dialogue between the Brazilian popular movement and U.S.-based electoral organizing sectors on contending for governing power, combating the right, and developing political consciousness, featuring Adam Gold, Brittany Ramos DeBarros, Carla Loop, Leonardo Maggi, and Santra Denis, moderated by Sunyoung Yang. The impact of this Membership Assembly will extend well into our future
years and we hope it inspires you as much as it inspired us. As you know, it takes resources to convene our membership and allies and engage in a deep process of democratic decision-making. Will you make a special donation today to support this work? |
