Building from the Left: Strategies to Disrupt the Right

Featuring Pooja Gehi, Cara Page, and Tarso Luís Ramos. Moderated by Janet Jakobsen.

How can the left develop more robust strategies to undermine and disrupt the powerful ascendance of the U.S. Right? How can the left learn from its history and the present moment to build a transformative intersectional social justice agenda that encompasses reproductive justice, LGBTQ liberation, racial and immigrant justice, civil liberties, and economic justice?

In the aftermath of the 2018 midterm elections, Cara Page (Activist-in-Residence 2016-2018), Tarso Luís Ramos (Executive Director of Political Research Associates and Activist-in-Residence 2016-2018), and Pooja Gehi (Executive Director, National Lawyers Guild) discuss intersectional strategies to build long-term resistance.

Recorded on November 13, 2018 at Barnard College in NYC. This event was co-sponsored by the Barnard Center for Research on Women, Political Research Associates, the Department of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, the Department of Political Science, and the Consortium for Critical Interdisciplinary Studies at Barnard College.
