United for Justice with Peace invites you to Sunday brunch and conversation on the lessons of Trump’s election victory for our social movements.
Sunday, January 29, 10 a.m - noon
Location: American Friends Service Committee office, 2161 Massachusetts Ave., North Cambridge (use the second door on the Milton Street side of the building)
In the context of this past weekend’s giant protests, our conversation this coming Sunday will address the following questions:
- What are the lessons of Trump’s election victory for our social movements and campaigns?
- How do we build on the huge energy of the women's marches to resist Trump and to organize for social change?
- Is the progressive movement in touch with the people who are essential to bringing about the social change we seek? Who are those people?
- Do these “essential” constituencies look at us as fighting for them or for other groups? as their friend or their enemy?
- Does the way we frame our issues regarding race, gender and class help our movements grow or limit our potential reach?
Join us for this informal conversation about the way forward for the anti-war and social justice movements at the beginning of the Trump presidency.
Bagels and coffee provided. Other dishes welcome but not required.
