About this event

What can organizers learn from movements around the world that have used civil resistance to build collective power and advance democratic change?

He will be joined by renowned movement strategist Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson and Stephanie Luce, professor of labor studies. Drawing on more than two decades of work with popular movements around the world, Hardy will share lessons for organizers confronting authoritarian consolidation in the U.S today.

The panel discussion from 4 to 5pm is open to the public, both in person and virtually.
