Emily Janakiram, Eman Abdelhadi, Katie Gibson, and Olivia Katbi speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
How should the left relate to the family? Socialist analysis makes clear that the nuclear family form is an inherently repressive, racist, and hetereo-sexist institution that functionally reinforces and reproduces capitalism. But what does this mean for our organizing, especially when the family form remains a potent organizing structure for many everyday people, and when the Right constantly positions itself as a party of “family values”? Is a politics of family abolition in tension with a leftist family agenda focused on policies like universal preschool, child tax credits, and more? Join us for a roundtable that will discuss these issues at length.

Kamau Franklin, Micah Herskind, and Mariah Parker speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
The Stop Cop City movement is a decentralized effort to stop the construction of a $120 million police training facility and the destruction of 170 acres of the Weelaunee Forest outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Featuring a range of tactics, and in the face of enormous state repression, the SCC movement brought together forest defenders, environmental justice advocates, political prisoners, Indigenous activists, abolitionists, educators, legal scholars, and academics in a struggle for police abolition, environmental liberation, and Indigenous sovereignty. SCC organizers Kamau Franklin, Mariah Parker, and Micah Herskind will share insights from their newly published No Cop City, No Cop World, discussing the campaign's history, lessons learned, and challenges that lay ahead--with an eye towards how Stop Cop City can inform abolitionist organizing across the globe.

In 1976, high school students of the Red Tide newspaper campaigned to free Gary Tyler, a 16-year-old Black political prisoner on Louisiana's death row. In the process, they forged a multiracial, working-class youth organization of the International Socialists. Half a century later, Gary and several Red Tide veterans reflect on this history and its lessons for today.
