MOLLY CRABAPPLE: HERE WHERE WE LIVE IS OUR COUNTRY
Hear New York Times bestselling author, activist, and artist Molly Crabapple in a lively discussion about her new book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund. Hosted by Jøder for Retfærdig Fred af 5784 (JFRF), Molly will discuss her work in the context of the increasingly fascist world we find ourselves in today. A 30-minute Q&A session will follow 30 minutes of discussion. Molly’s work, while rooted in the Ashkenazi Jewish leftist radical movement of the Bund, is deeply relevant to the broader history of the left, homemaking, identity formation, organizing, and resistance.
Here Where We Live Is Our Country will be available for purchase both before and after the event, and Molly will be available for book signing after the talk.
Molly got her start as the house artist for New York’s most notorious nightclub. She became a journalist sketching the frontlines of Occupy Wall Street, before covering, with words and art, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Lebanese snipers, Guantanamo Bay, the US-Mexican border, Pennsylvania prisoners, New York cabbies, Greek refugee camps, and the ravages of hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. She once confronted Donald Trump in Dubai about the fact that his workers there got paid $100 a month. As an award-winning animator, she has pioneered a new genre of live-illustrated journalism, collaborating with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Jay Z, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and The ACLU. Her animations are on permanent display at The Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama.
She has spoken to audiences around the world, from Jakarta to Beirut, São Paulo to Ramallah, Mumbai to Paris, at universities including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and The London School of Economics, and at museums including The Brooklyn Museum and The Guggenheim. Her art is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the United States Library of Congress, Columbia University and the New York Historical Society.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: The dramatic story of the Jewish Bund—a revolutionary movement from a vanished world—and its radical vision of solidarity in an age of division. The Jewish Labor Bund. Once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe, the Bund was secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist. The Bundists fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine but “here where we live.”
