Please join the LPE Project on Thursday, January 30th, from 12:10 to 1:30 PM ET, for a lunch talk with Dean Spade titled Sticking Together in Tough Times. Dean Spade is a Professor at Seattle University School of Law, where he teaches courses in Administrative Law, Poverty Law, Gender and Law, Policing and Imprisonment, Professional Responsibility, and Law and Social Movements.
As we confront increased targeting of immigrants, trans people, poor people and so many other vulnerable groups, heightening political repression, worsening ecological crisis, rising rent and food prices, an ongoing pandemic, and so much more, how do we stick together? How do we care for each other and build resistance even under severe conditions? How do we focus on what we can do in our own communities rather than hoping that answers will come from politicians, courts, billionaires, or big non-profits? In this talk, Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During this Crisis (and the Next) and Love in a F*cked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up and Raise Hell, Together will talk about the kinds of bold, rule-breaking, risk-taking resistance that people are taking up to care for each other and save lives right now, and what it takes for us to show up for each other in this moment.
Professor Spade has been working to build queer and trans liberation based in racial and economic justice for the past two decades.
This event will be available in a hybrid format at Yale Law School (Room TBD). To participate in person please register here; and to join online please sign up here.
