Online Event
Co-Sponsors: Red May

Live transcription can be found here.

This event is part of Red May, a month-long celebration of radical thought and art in Seattle.

As we face cascading crises caused by the extractive systems that still determine the material conditions of our lives, mutual aid is proliferating and drawing more people into resistance work. The growth of mutual aid projects, alongside the worsening climate crisis, the brutal failures of government responses to COVID-19 (particularly in the US under a for-profit healthcare system), and the increasing calls for border, police, and prison abolition are surfacing long-standing debates about the role of government in producing and responding to crises. This panel conversation will explore these questions using the current moment as a jumping off point.

This event is organized by Red May and co-sponsored by the Barnard Center for Research on Women.

Accessibility

Streaming online. Live transcription and ASL interpretation will be provided. Please email any additional access needs to ekausch@barnard.edu.

This event is free and open to all.
