Actualizing Equity

This Actualizing Equity event brings together three experienced organizers and movement elders for a conversation to help us process and make sense of the last few months in our region and where we might go together from here.

Join the conversation with Ricardo Levins Morales, Susan Raffo, and Sandra Richardson.

These have been both trying and inspiring times.

Operation Metro Surge impacted us in the Twin Cities region in ways that we are only beginning to understand. Families have been separated, businesses and cultural corridors have lost money and sometimes staff and clientele, people who were unable to go to work have been struggling to make rent.

The resistance in the Twin Cities region and the state that occurred in the face of Operation Metro Surge was powerful, inspiring, and transformative, even in the face of state sponsored abductions, violence, and trauma. We watched as neighbors pulled together patrols, rapid-response networks, put their bodies on the line, and built vast mutual aid responses to meet people’s needs.

For those of us involved in resistance efforts, from seasoned organizers to people taking action for the first time, what has this moment taught us? How do we build from here? What lessons can we learn from past movements in this geography and from elsewhere in the world that can help us navigate this moment?

The Alliance invites you to join us for this year's Actualizing Equity series of conversations on how we can resist systems of oppression and build resilience through solidarity across communities. This event is free and open to all, and we are especially encouraging Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities and organizers to attend.
