RE-CENTERING COMMUNITY POWER WITH J.P. HILL
Wed. Feb 25 @ 8:00PM
In the era of ICE, expanded attacks on dissent, and escalated use of state power in multiple forms, resistance must grow locally and interpersonally. The age of the internet led millions around the globe into an over-reliance on social media and spontaneous uprising, but today the core social media platforms are almost universally owned by tech oligarchs aligned with the Trump administration. These apps are now sites of surveillance and potential repression more than ever, and our response must be to build trust and comradery locally, organize with co-workers and neighbors, and in many ways return to organizational forms that preceded the 21st century.
J.P. Hill is a teacher, lecturer, and mutual aid organizer. He also works in social media and reluctantly tweets too much, and thinks a lot about how we can use social media as a tool to help build a better world.
