For Ujima By Ujima: Troubling Voting, Citizenship, Democracy & Participation in 2020
A few weeks ago we presented To Possess Freedom Once Again, a series of events aimed at excavating and returning to a tangible freedom that our ancestors once knew. This desire to excavate where freedom lies has, most recently, manifested into our next panel discussion For Ujima By Ujima: Troubling Voting, Citizenship, Democracy and Participation in 2020.
On September 30, 2020 6:30-8:30PM, in partnership with the Black Economic Council of MA (BECMA) and Mayor's Office of Resilience and Racial Equity, Ujima staff will present a lively panel and Q&A discussion on the past and current mechanisms of democracy, citizenship and voting in the United States.
Perspectives:
- Nia Evans, Shape the Perameters We Fight and Live In / Let's Be the Government
- Cierra Peters, Everyone's Work is Equally Important and Build the Other Thing
- other Ujima Staff Perspectives TBD
Moderated by Yohana Beyene and Karl Kumodzi
