Community & Resistance National Tour

Floodlines

With a new flood threatening life on the Gulf Coast—this time made of oil, not water, but powered, as always, by greed and neglect—these remarkable stories of injustice and resistance must be heard.”
—Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine

Featuring Jordan Flaherty, author, Floodlines: Community and Resistance from Katrina to the Jena 6, Victoria Law, Jesse Muhammad, and other activists, performers, writers and organizers who "seek to communicate about current struggles for justice and liberation, from nooses hung in Jena to women organizing inside prisons, from resistance to school privatization to post-Katrina community organizing."
