This week’s Race + Power Weekly focuses on how social movements can push back against anti-democratic forces. First, a look at why social movements must balance the pursuit of long-term visions with bridge-building work that can strengthen threatened democratic institutions. Next, the necessity of sustained investments toward the collective power of Black youth organizers. Then, the work of decarcerating and decolonizing our minds to abolish rather than reform the institutions that oppress. Finally, NPQ is hiring Staff Writers.
