SUMMARY:Radicals\, Realists\, and Repression: The State of Activism in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 21st at 6:30pm for a panel on Radicals\, Realists\, and Repression: The State of Activism in the US. \nThe panel will feature Prof. Thomas Zeitzoff\, professor in the School of Public Affairs at American University and author of “No Option\, But Sabotage\,” Prof. Omar Wasow\, Assistant Professor in UC Berkeley’s Department of Political Science\, longtime environmental campaigner and organizer\, and co-host of the Green and Red Podcast\, Scott Parkin and Jason Myles\, host of THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast. \nWe’ve been in the midst of a serious rollback of first amendment protected activities. States are passing anti-protest legislation\, police are increasingly militarized\, surveillance is being drastically increased on activist groups and the Trump administration is turning activism into terrorism. \nBUT\, we are also seeing new large-scale resistance from the massive No Kings and May Day mobilizations to fierce resistance to ICE in Los Angeles\, Chicago and Minneapolis\, communities and movements are fighting back.The anti-AI Data Center movement has blurred political divides across the country. Activists are not only marching in the street and disrupting authoritarian forces\, but actions at Tesla dealerships\, Kimberly Clark warehouses\, the offices of corporate war profiteers and other locations show a radical edge to today’s resistance. \nThis panel discussion will focus on the state of activism in the United States from its radicals to its realists\, how the state is responding with repression\, and understanding why movements and activists make the choices they do. \nWHERE: The Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists; 1924 Cedar St. Berkeley CA \nWHEN: May 21st\, 2026. Doors open at 6:30pm. The event begins at 7pm. \nRSVP: https://bit.ly/3QFR1XO
