Join us for an evening with movement leaders reflecting on solidarity, movement-building, and sustaining joy in challenging times.
Celebrating Solidarity: Weaving Struggles for Justice brings together artists, organizers, and movement leaders to explore what solidarity looks like in a moment of crisis for democracy. Centered on the connections between labor, racial justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and environmental justice, the event creates space for reflection, dialogue, and collective joy.
Featuring Dallas Goldtooth (Dakota/Diné) writer, actor, playwright, film producer, poet, comedian & Environmental Justice leader alongside a panel including Pablo Alvarado, Co-Executive Director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network; Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, Movement Strategist and Former Co-Director of the Highlander Research & Education Center; Darryl Molina Sarmiento, Executive Director of Communities for a Better Environment; and Peggy Shepard, Co-Founder & Executive Director of WE ACT for Environmental Justice; the conversation will be moderated by Manuel Pastor, Director of the Equity Research Institute at the University of Southern California. Together, they will reflect on the challenges and possibilities of movement-building today.
The night will also include music from Los Jornaleros del Norte, whose work reflects the power of culture in sustaining struggle and community.
Join us for an evening that offers a bit of levity, a bit of sanity, and a shared commitment to joy and justice in challenging times.
In partnership with the Tishman Environment and Design Center, The New School and USC Equity Research Institute.
