Please join us for an afternoon conversation with Los Angeles-based artist, activist, educator, and public speaker Patrisse Cullors. Ms. Cullors is the Co-Founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network and Founder of the LA-based grassroots organization Dignity and Power Now. For the last 20 years, she has been on the frontlines of criminal justice reform and led the Reform LA Jails “Yes on R” campaign, a ballot initiative voted on in March 2020.
This event is part of the CAS 2019-21 Initiative Abolition which examines the multiple, convergent forms of power in the, at times intersectional areas of prison, police, immigrant justice, gendered and sexual violence, environmental justice, disability justice, and more, in order to propose an abolitionist democratic present and future.
CAS Resident Associates Toby Beauchamp (Gender and Women's Studies) and Naomi Paik (Asian American Studies) oversee this initiative which includes a two-year long public events series, among other activities.
Cosponsored by the Center for Advanced Study, Department of Asian American Studies, Department of Gender and Women's Studies, and the Student Cultural Programming Fee.
*Event rescheduled from Spring 2020.
