On Thursday, September 5 at 6:00 PM we kicked off the school year with our “Dismantling Racial Capitalism” series featuring Ruth Wilson Gilmore, a renowned scholar and activist whose work has profoundly influenced debates on prison abolition, racial justice, and geography.
We were excited to welcome Ruthie for an engaging conversation with Laura Y. Liu from The New School and Angeles Solis from The Action Lab. Together, they explored the systemic issues of racial capitalism and the transformative power of abolitionist movements.
This event, part of the “Dismantling Racial Capitalism” series, aimed to enrich our understanding of racial capitalism, its impact, and how we can challenge it. These events offer a unique platform for academics, organizers, policymakers, and change-makers to delve into racial capitalism’s role in fostering inequality and to strategize for actionable change.
