From prison abolition to Palestine liberation, Angela Davis has been at the forefront of radical intellectual work and political activism for decades. Her public rise in the Black Power and Women of Color movements made her an outspoken advocate for racial, gender, and economic justice. She is the author of many books, and a founding member of Critical Resistance, a national organization dedicated to the dismantling of the prison industrial complex

This intergenerational conversation will draw inspiration from Dr. Davis’s ideas for abolition, international solidarity for Palestine, and collective movement building. As she has written, “We cannot go on as usual. . .We cannot be moderate. We will have to be willing to stand up and say no with our combined spirits, our collective intellects, and our many bodies.”

Dr. Davis will be in conversation with Gilda Sheppard and Ranna. Gilda Sheppard is faculty emerita in sociology, cultural and media studies at Evergreen Tacoma, and taught at Washington prisons for over a decade. She is an international award-winning filmmaker, most recently for her documentary, Since I Been Down, featuring the Black Prisoner Caucus and their liberation education program.

Ranna is part of a Seattle-based grassroots collective of Palestinian and SWANA feminists that organizes at the intersection of gender justice and anti imperialism. As a member of the diaspora, she continues to fight for the liberation of Palestine through building education and community in Seattle.
