During our community-centered afternoon, we’ll interrogate the roots of state violence, imperialism, and repression—from police, prisons, and ICE to the military. Expect an afternoon of letter-writing to detained and incarcerated community members, art-making, skill-building, and a radical reimagining of how we organize and resist.
