EASTERN STANDARD TIME

Fascism is real, and it keeps creeping closer. Join me this Saturday as we gather with incredible thought leaders, activists, and artists to discuss:

•The Fuckery of Fascism

•The Body as the Front Line

•The Earth's Manifesta

•The Audacity of Abolition

•How We Do Freedom.

Each panel will feature an artist's response.

Throughout the day, we will unpack what fascism is in the US and globally and what we can do to combat it. We will explore the impact on all of us from women’s bodies to anti-Blackness and the suppression of LGBTQ+ and the disabled, to the banning of books, erasing history and immigration bans, union busting, increasing violence and expansion of the police state, and the destruction of the Earth.

We come together in solidarity, the antidote to loneliness and alienation that are fundamental to fascism.
