SURJ FAITH WEBINAR: ROME WILL DESTROY USWe are excited to be offering a webinar for Christians addressing some challenging texts in the Gospel of John in the Bible that are often interpreted in ways that perpetuate anti-Judaism/anti-Semitism. The webinar will be on February 24th at 8pmET/5pmPT. Read more about it at the registration link here. Invite friends on FB here Only internationalism can save usfrieWant to learn about how we make anti-imperialist internationalism concrete and relevant to your work? Lara Kiswani, Director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, and Melanie K. Yazzie, co-founder of the Red Nation, will be in dialogue about why internationalism is crucial if we are to build movements that can win. On this call, we’ll talk about what we can learn from movements in the Global South, about what internationalism asks of those of us who live in the center of empire. We’ll look at some concrete examples of the ways organizers in the US link their local work with struggles in other parts of the world. And we will emphasize the ways that when we build internationalist movements we are connecting to a worldwide majority of people who are demanding a different world, and in fact we become part of it.
