Howie Hawkins, Bennett Carpenter, Ashik Siddique, Lee Wengraf speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Solidarity, Groundwork DSA, and Tempest.
Socialists have historically taken quite different postures toward engagement with the Democratic Party. For some, it is the only existing avenue to mass influence and a necessary means to block growing fascist influence in elected positions. For others, the Democratic Party is an institutional barrier to the advancement of social movements and a key factor creating the conditions for growing fascism in the US. Join us for a comradely debate among socialists from various points of view.

How should a broad movement for educational justice be framed and forged?

Adom Getachew speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
This talk surveys the history of Pan-Africanism with specific attention to key inflection moments such as the late nineteenth century and the era of decolonization to consider its on-going resonances. Through specific attention to the cultural politics of Pan-Africanism, it demonstrates why visions of global Black solidarity continue to be activated even as the political projects of African federation and other forms of political and economic integration have declined.
