SUMMARY:The Second Wave of Uprising in Sudan: Revolutionaries Speak
DESCRIPTION:Join Sudanese revolutionaries from on the ground to discuss the flourishing of revolutionary bodies and resurgence of the uprising in Sudan. \nThe 2019 revolution in Sudan\, which overthrew longtime President Omar al-Bashir\, was the earliest of a second-wave of uprisings that has swept from Algeria to Iraq\, reigniting the hope of the 2011 revolutions in the region.\nThe uprising\, known in Sudan as the December Revolution\, culminated in August 2019 in a civilian-military partnership\, for what was to be a “transition” to full civilian rule. But in October 2021\, a military coup drove out the civilian coalition partners. The resistance that the coup has sparked since has breathed new life into the revolutionary movement in the country\, and accelerated the evolution of organizing in a way that bears lessons for movements for social justice everywhere. \nIn response to the coup\, widespread mobilizations\, led by Sudan’s neighborhood-level resistance committees\, have produced ongoing strikes\, civil disobedience and protests demanding an end to the military coup and the formation of a fully civilian\, revolutionary government to decide the country’s leadership and its future\, and to reclaim control of its looted resources for the benefit of communities. \nRevolutionary bodies\, in particular the network of neighborhood resistance committees which now spread across the country\, have pushed the struggle forward beyond previous compromises. They have also offered an alternative model of resistance and governance that presents a clear break from the elite politics of the past. Though the revolution in Sudan has so far been formidable in the face of repression\, it faces immense challenges\, given the ways in which regional and international counter-revolutionary forces have coalesced to back the military. This leaves us with a crucial question: how can this struggle\, whose outcome will have consequences beyond Sudan’s borders\, go on to achieve its slogan\, “freedom\, peace and justice”? \nTo explore that question\, the panel will highlight voices and analysis of Sudanese activists who are deeply involved in the revolution\, and who will provide their take on the stakes involved and the aims\, strategies and tactics of the movement. The event also intends to create space for conversation to explore solidarity actions beyond Sudan\, in particular\, how to deepen ties with activists in the Movement For Black Lives and anti-racist struggles in the U.S. Join us for this important discussion.\nThe conversation will be held in Arabic and English\, with simultaneous interpretation to English. \nPanelists: \n-Muzan Alneel is a cofounder of the Innovation\, Science and Technology Think Tank for People-Centered Development (ITSinaD) — Sudan and a nonresident fellow at the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP)\, focusing on a people-centric approach to economy\, industry\, and environment in Sudan. Recent writings include The People of Sudan Don’t Want to Share Power With Their Military Oppressors (Jacobin) and Why the Burhan-Hamdok deal will not stabilise Sudan (Al Jazeera). \n-Monifa Bandele (moderator) sits on the policy table leadership team for the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL)\, as well as the steering committee for the New York-based Communities United for Police Reform\, representing the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement in both coalitions. Just in the past decade\, she led the launch of two historic and successful legal cases against police misconduct (Daniels v NYC and Floyd v NYC); worked to pass landmark police reform legislation in New York City (Community Safety Act 2013) and New York State (Repeal CRL 50-a bill\, Special Prosecutor\, and NY STAT Act); and was a contributing writer to M4BL’s Vision for Black Lives and the BREATHE Act. \n-Abdulsalam Mindas is an Agronomist with a Bachelor in Agricultural Studies from Sudan University of Science and Technology. He is the official spokesperson for the coordination of Ombada Resistance committees and one of the two official spokespersons for the resistance committees of greater Omdurman. \nThis event is sponsored by Africa Is A Country\, Haymarket Books\, Internationalism From Below\, Jadaliyya\, the Review of African Political Economy\, Spring magazine\, and the following departments at Bryn Mawr College: Africana Studies\, Latin American\, Iberian and Latina/o Studies (LAILS)\, Middle Eastern Studies\, Political Science. \nREGISTER through Eventbrite to receive a link to the live stream the day of the event: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-second-wave-of-uprising-in-sudan-revolutionaries-speak-tickets-262749489797 \nThis event will also be recorded and live captioning will be provided.

SUMMARY:Capitalism: A Socialist Introduction
DESCRIPTION:From the fight for climate justice to the movement to defund the police\, more and more people are concluding that capitalism itself is the problem. Understanding *how* capitalism works (or doesn’t)\, where it came from\, and its internal weaknesses and contradictions is a key part of the struggle to overthrow it. \nJoin this discussion for an introduction to how socialists analyze\, criticize\, and organize against capitalism. Some questions we will ask: Where does profit come from and how does it drive the system? What is racial capitalism and how does it help us understand where capitalism came from? What did the pandemic expose about capitalism’s weaknesses and contradictions? \nIntroduction by Khaleel Grant \nSuggested readings:\nUnravelling Capitalism: A Guide to Marxist Political Economy\nBy Joseph Choonara\nEmail Spring for an e-version \nGeographies of Racial Capitalism with Ruth Wilson Gilmore – An Antipode Foundation film\nhttps://bit.ly/3uyjOjZ \n“What Did Cedric Robinson Mean by Racial Capitalism?”\nBy Robin D. G. Kelley\nBoston Review (January 12\, 2017)\nhttps://bit.ly/3HAs6vo \n“Cedric Robinson\, racial capitalism and the return of black radicalism”\nBy Ken Olende\nInternational Socialism 69 (January 6\, 2021)\nhttps://bit.ly/3Gv3nap \nEmail info@springmag.ca for Zoom link and copy of readings.
