Locally and globally, struggles against confinement and for freedom of movement are on the rise. Whether it's young migrant folks crossing forbidden borders or prisoners striking for freedom and dignity, the new world in our hearts is visible through acts of defiance and solidarity.

Where do struggles of migrants and incarcerated/policed people intersect? Where are the opportunities for alliances? What are strategic points of intervention and what kind of change are we fighting for? Join us for a participatory conversation on these and other questions. Part of the Radicalizing Reality forum series.

Wheelchair accessible. Childcare and Spanish interpretation available upon request.
