Content: A workshop on applying lessons from prisoner movements to our organizing. Join Students for Justice in Palestine and Black Alliance for Peace for an interactive workshop, guided by the struggle of Afrikan and Palestinian prisoners! Learn about the War on Afrikan people, at home and abroad, and its connection to the Palestinian struggle for liberation, through the lens of revolutionaries like Walid Daqqa and Mumia Abu Jamal. We will learn through collective activities, and apply what we learn to ongoing fights, such as the campaign for the Pendleton 2, countering the criminalization of Samidoun, and the student-led movement for divestment. “Amerikka recognized long ago what negroes now examine in disbelief: every birth in amerikka is political. With each new birth comes a potential challenge to the existing order. Each new generation brings forth untested militancy...amerikka doesn’t know which black birth is going to be the birth that will overthrow this kountry.” - Jamil Al Amin “What is madness: a nuclear state fighting an unborn child and already considering him/her a security threat, or is it to dream of having a child?” - Walid Daqqa
