Centering past and contemporary abolition movements, this powerful event will feature the activist, scholar, and author celebrated in Seize the Time, Angela Davis, in conversation with former Oakland Youth Poet Laureate and author of the critically-acclaimed novel, Nightcrawling, Leila Mottley, and National Movement Building Director from the Black Organizing Project (B.O.P.), Jessica Black, whose long-term and ultimately successful efforts abolished the OUSD police force. The conversation will be moderated by Cat Brooks, co-founder of the Anti Police-Terror Project and Executive Director of The Justice Teams Network”
