Join us at @brooklynlaw tomorrow for this conversation with @profhuq, organized by BLS students from @BLPECollective! @lpe_nyc
Today’s social movements are meeting the existential crises of our time with vision, scale, and infrastructure. They reflect a growing sense that neoliberal law and politics have failed the majority. Join us for a discussion tomorrow. Time: 5pm-6:30PM ALL ARE WELCOME.

I'm learning so much from this @LPEblog @MovementLawLab symposium. Like when I got to this moment in today's post: "what better way to subjugate people to a specific political and economic order than to dismantle networks of solidarity between individuals and communities?"
We are excited to continue our symposium with @LPEBlog and @LPE_Project with another piece by Lamine Benghazi of @ASF_Tunisie spotlighting Tunisia as a case study on democratic backsliding to serve as a cautionary tale for what we may lose when we allow authoritarians to seize power and neglect the necessary ingredients for building a robust democratic polity post-revolution. Check it out!
