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.

The fight against fascism cannot be successful without understanding powerful struggles against colonialism, from the 20th century to today.

Historically, border enforcement has been a tool of repression and intimidation. While the current administration has shown a cruel escalation in its attacks on the immigrant community, this panel will trace back the roots of these attacks and will make the case for how our side can fight back against immigration policing and border imperialism under authoritarianism.

The far-right in the US and abroad has placed gender at the center of fascist politics, obsessing over trans rights, abortion, and the birthrate and attacking the very presence of the word gender in federal administration and universities. How does the right build its power through a focus on gender, and what is the role of gender in a resurgent left?
