About the Webinar
This special 2-day webinar features panels of former and current political prisoners in the u.s. engaging in dialogue with each other and revolutionaries from around the world, from Haiti to Palestine and Korea.
Join an international webinar examining the history and transformation of u.s. imperialism and its concrete manifestations, the most effective ways to activate the masses for a revolutionary process, and the tactics and strategies needed to confront and dismantle u.s. imperialism today. The main organizer of the event is Shaka A. Shakur, a current political prisoner from the New Afrikan Independence Movement who is currently incarcerated in Virginia.
Over two days, hear from a range of exciting panelists as we work to build a united front against imperialism right here, right now:
