Join us in conversation with Dean Spade, in celebration of Spade's newest book "Love in a F*cked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell, Together."
As we confront increased targeting of immigrants, trans people, poor people and so many other vulnerable groups, heightening political repression, worsening ecological crisis, rising rent and food prices, an ongoing pandemic, and so much more, how do we stick together? How do we care for each other and build resistance even under severe conditions? How do we focus on what we can do in our own communities rather than hoping that answers will come from politicians, courts, billionaires, or big non-profits? In this conversation with local organizers, Dean Spade will talk about the kinds of bold, rule-breaking, risk-taking resistance that people are taking up to care for each other and save lives right now, and what it takes for us to show up for each other in this moment.
Dean Spade has been working to build queer and trans liberation based in racial and economic justice for the past two decades. He is a professor at the Seattle University School of Law. Deans previous book, Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the next) was published by Verso Press in October 2020. He is also the author of Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of Law. In 2015, Dean released a one-hour video documentary, Pinkwashing Exposed: Seattle Fights Back!, which can be watched free online with English captions or subtitles in several languages.
We are asking that everyone wear a mask and please test before you come, in hopes of making this event more accessible to more people. Masks will be provided.
