I was reminded this month of James Baldwin’s enduring words from a 1965 televised debate with William F. Buckley Jr., the conservative author who opposed the civil rights movement and denied the existence of systemic racism. Baldwin described the mind-set of those empowered by the system, saying, “The Mississippi or Alabama sheriff, who really does believe, when he’s facing a Negro boy or girl, that this woman, this man, this child must be insane to attack the system to which he owes his entire identity.”
~ Jared Odrick, Jacksonville Jaguars player, NFL

George Woodcock, a prominent Canadian writer and anarchist thinker, writes that anarchism’s “ultimate aim is always social change; its present attitude is always one of social condemnation, even though it may proceed from an individualist view of man’s nature; its method is always that of social revolution, violent or otherwise.”

White People in Solidarity with Black Lives Matter: Dara Silverman and Chris Crass
Laura Flanders Show
Published on Jul 17, 2016
A social justice group that invites white people to fight racism is spreading like wildfire in the US. From 12 to 150 chapters in two years. Clearly a whole lot of white people are interested in fighting systemic injustice. But how? This week's guests have dedicated their lives to grappling with that question, for the sake of making real change. They are both organizers, educators, and feminist anti-racist activists. Dara Silverman is the former Executive Director of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and is currently the National Coordinator for SURJ: Showing Up for Racial Justice, a network with over 100 chapters and affiliates across the United States moving white people into action for racial justice. Chris Crass is the former co-coordinator of Catalyst Project, an antiracist training organization in the San Francisco Bay Area. And the author of two books, Towards Collective Liberation: Anti-Racist Organizing, Feminist Praxis, and Movement Building Strategy and Towards the “Other America”: Anti-Racist Resources for White People Action for Black Lives Matter.

The Conditions of Possibility
"The Conditions of Possibility" (2016) is an assemblage of texts, images, and conversations that explores the diverse histories circulating in the milieus of post-revolution/post-coup Cairo, Egypt. The project is based on fieldwork undertaken between 2013 and 2015, and is organized within five drifts, speculative navigations through the multiple temporal and spatial con/disjunctures of the city. Borrowing from the Situationist notion of the dérive, each drift elaborates on particular concepts that help to orient within the nonlinear dynamics of plural historical constellations.
