Zohran Mamdani’s New York mayor win drew major interest—but what made his campaign strategy so effective? The DM Palestine Network and the UCPH Degrowth Network have organized a conversation with Professor Fabian Holt and climate activist Esther Michelsen Kjeldahl to discuss hybrid organizing strategies.
In his recent book Organize or Burn Fabian Holt maps the strategy behind Democratic Socialists of America and examines how social justice movements can succeed in bringing issues into the institutional arena and achieve political influence.
Esther Michelsen Kjeldahl is an active part of the recent initiative Jordskred building a broad grassroots coalition to challenge parliamentary power balances. Are the hybrid organizing strategies transferable to the Danish context?
Join us for a discussion that merges theory and practice and explore new forms of organizing.
The event is for free and open to everyone, but sign-up is required. https://dm.dk/kalender/0004553/
