Zafiro Patino, Frances Amador, Cheryl Looney, Eric Kobesak, and René Christian Moya speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by Solidarity.
https://solidarity-us.org
In this workshop, City Life/Vida Urbana, KC Tenants and Los Angeles Tenants Union will provide hands-on experiences about what it takes to build tenant power. We will focus on two questions: First, how do tenant organizers form the deep relationships that sustain activism over the long haul? Second, how do we organize with poor and working class folks across the many divisions that keep working-class communities apart and undermine our power.

Socialist Internationalism Comes From Below
Promise Li, Andrea Sempértegui, and Shiyam Galyon speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2022. This session was sponsored by Internationalism From Below.
https://www.facebook.com/intlfrombelow
This panel will diagnose the disturbing rise of an authoritarian tankie/campist orientation on the Left today—one that rationalizes, sugarcoats, and defends repressive and murderous regimes in the name of a convoluted “anti-imperialist” posture—and will explore an emerging alternative vision of solidarity—an internationalism from below/internationalism of the oppressed.

What is a Culture War and Can it be Won?
Ben Davis speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2022.
“Culture war” is everywhere today as a concept, on the right and left. This talk looks at the concept’s origin in the late ‘80s at the end of the Cold War, and its contemporary renaissance, as a way to clarify what role this framing of politics has in today’s debates.
