MODULE 4Prospects for Struggle Today
Class 1: From Ferguson to minneapolis: a new era of rebellion
Tuesday, April 1 from 6:30 - 8:30 PM ET
Instructor: Phil Agnew and Ekundayo Igeleke
From Ferguson to Minneapolis to the streets of New York City, the past decade has seen mass uprisings against police violence and systemic racism. Millions have taken to the streets, demanding justice and exposing the deep failures of the state. In this class, we will examine the conditions that gave rise to these movements, their tactics, and their transformative potential. We will also reflect on the lessons learned—what do these uprisings reveal about the state of struggle today? How can we apply these lessons to the conditions we face today?
