  • A Potent Christian Left and the Fight for a Free Palestine
    Adam Vander Tuig, Amir Marshi, Peter Tanaka, Naomi Washington-Leapheart, and Jennifer Bing speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Highlander.
    Initially after Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began in October 2023, the broad Christian left seemed largely absent and otherwise unprepared. This panel—comprised of students, scholars, clergy, and organizers—explores why, and it discusses how Christian leftists can build more potent and manifold faith-based power as part of the larger coalition fighting for a free Palestine.

  • Revisiting the 1960s: Lessons for the Left
    Billy Che Brooks, Jacqueline Lazu, and Helen Shiller speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by
    With pro-Palestinian protests on campuses continuing to grow, comparisons with the student protests of the 1960s abound. In the late 1960s the Black Panther Party and the Young Lords, with an international, intercommunal perspective, challenged the powers that be and organized a peoples’ response to capitalism while defending against fascism. What are the lessons learned that are relevant to today?

  • Demilitarization and Climate Justice: Winning a Just Transition to a Peace Economy
    Patrick Bigger, Khem Rogaly, Jessie Kelly, and Sumaya Awad speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Climate and Community Institute.
    Military domination of public resources and capture of US industrial capacity fuels the climate crisis and fundamentally puts full decarbonization – let alone climate justice – out of reach. To confront the drivers of climate breakdown is also to confront the drivers of militarism, perpetual war, and climate apartheid. Join us to discuss pathways, historical examples, and ongoing organizing for a just transition for the military industrial complex and communities harmed by US imperialism, from Palestine to Cop City.

  • Antisemitism is Our Business: The ADL and Israel's Defenders
    Jason Farbman speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace and Adalah Justice Project.
    Two things are true: the Anti-Defamation League weaponizes accusations of antisemitism to defend Israel’s genocide; and we must make a real fight against antisemitism a part of a struggle for collective liberation.

  • From the Ashes: Grief, Care, and Time in our Movements
    Sarah Jaffe, Eman Abdelhadi, Kelly Hayes, and Lydia Pelot-Hobbs speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
    Grief is everywhere these days, and yet speaking about it is often foreclosed even in our movement spaces. As we move forward in a time of intersecting crises, how do we create space for our very human needs—for rest, for care, for time to mourn—while we organize to rise to the immediate challenges of our time?

  • Survival is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde
    Alexis Pauline Gumbs speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
    Join acclaimed writer Alexis Pauline Gumbs as she illuminates how, for Lorde, survival was not simply about getting through, or about resilience. It was about the total stakes of living on, and with, a planet in transformation, her commitment to justice intimately connected to her deep engagement with the natural world.

  • Capitalism’s New Attacks on Public Education
    Lois Weiner and Sarah Rothschild speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
    Capitalism has shifted its project to dismantle public education. A new alignment of players (including tech firms, private equity, and venture capitalists), have established a foothold in schools using educational technology to privatize, surveil and control teachers’ and students’ work, often working with the far Right to turn back social justice reforms in schools. The session explores the project and pushback.

  • Religion at the Encampments

    Maryam Abidi, Safear Ness, and Naomi Bennet speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.

    At Palestine solidarity encampments across the country, religious life as part of revolutionary activity blossomed. Seders invited all to imagine a freer world and communities defended Muslims praying in congregation hand in hand. These religious activities also became lighting poles for violence and repression. Understanding why will illuminate why Marxists ought to sharpen our understandings of comradely religious life.

  • Lenin And the Politics of Rehearsal
    Ruth Wilson Gilmore speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024.
    100 years after Lenin’s death, his exhortations to learn and think in the concrete remain urgent for our movements. What does it mean to approach our political practice not as an abstract set of rules, but as a collective rehearsal of coming worlds? And how can we perceive, expand, and connect contemporary world-experiments rehearsing abolitionist, communist, and anti-imperialist movement around the planet?
