19 Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls Agenda View Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls October 19, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm For details, go here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/justice-for-indigenous-women-and-girls-tickets-123378493395 Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls by Haymarket Books $0 – $25 Actions and Detail Panel Event Information Join grassroots advocates for a conversation on ending the crisis of violence against Indigenous women and girls. About this Event In the United States, more than 4 in 5 Indigenous women have experienced violence, and more than 1 in 2 have experienced sexual violence. On some US reservations, Indigenous women are murdered at ten times the national rate. In Canada, Indigenous women are six times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women and girls. In How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America, a new book from Haymarket and Voice of Witness, narrator Gladys Radek shares her own story of becoming an advocate for the countless missing and murdered First Nations women in Canada. In this roundtable conversation, Gladys will be joined by the book’s editor, Sara Sinclair, and other advocates based in the US and Canada to discuss the grassroots efforts currently led by Indigenous communities to find justice, truth, and healing for Indigenous women and their families. More about How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America: How We Go Home shares contemporary first-person stories in the long and ongoing fight to protect Native land, rights, and life. Each of the twelve narrators’ experiences are shaped by loss, injustice, resilience, and the struggle to share space with settler nations. “This book will inspire you, it’ll piss you off; it’ll take you on a journey of ugly things and beautiful things and back again. It’s a hell of a read. Keep this one on your shelf and never let it go. Damn right.” —Simon Moya-Smith (Oglala Lakota and Chicano), writer, NBC News THINK “How We Go Home is a testament to modern-day Indigenous revitalization, often in the face of the direst of circumstances. Told as firsthand accounts on the frontlines of resistance and resurgence, these life stories inspire and remind that Indigenous life is all about building a community through the gifts we offer and the stories we tell.” — Niigaan Sinclair, Winnipeg Free Press *Register through Eventbrite to receive a link to the video conference on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and have live captioning.* --------------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Gladys Radek (Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en First Nations) is a tireless grassroots advocate fighting for justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG) in Canada. Gladys' niece Tamara went missing in 2005 at age 22 along the notorious Highway of Tears. This inspired Gladys to become a community activist and eventually a Family Advocate for the National Inquiry into MMIWG in Canada. Gladys is a co-founder of Walk4Justice, an organization created to fight for the families and all women who went missing or were found murdered, as well as to get all of the answers they deserve. With Walk4Justice, Gladys has crossed the country 7 times and has spoked to thousands of families whose lives have been impacted by violence perpetrated against Native women and girls.

About this Event Join Russian-American author, journalist, and activist Masha Gessen, whose latest book is Surviving Autocracy, just ahead of the final 2020 United States Presidential Debate. Written after the 2016 US presidential election, and drawing on what they had seen happen under Vladimir Putin, Gessen's Surviving Autocracy is an analysis of the destruction the Trump administration has waged on our institutions, and our very sense of identity, and sketches out a dark vision of a nation in which a fragile democracy can quickly erode into one-man rule. In advance of the 2020 election, they continue to sound the alarm over the "creeping normalization" of this administration's efforts to tamp down press access. With an analysis that, "the Democratic Party lies in ruins, and the Republican Party lies prostrate,” Gessen predicts that the threat of autocracy will remain no matter who is elected, given the deterioration of the US’s political culture: "If Trump disappears tomorrow, we're actually looking at a vastly changed political landscape and a real crisis in American democracy." *Register through Eventbrite to receive a link to the video conference on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and have live captioning.* ----------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Masha Gessen is the author of eleven books and a staff writer for the New Yorker. In addition to Surviving Autocracy (2020), their recent books include The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia (2017), which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction; The Brothers: The Road to an American Tragedy (2015), about the Boston Marathon bombers; and The Man without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin (2012). Gessen has written extensively about Russia, autocracy, LGBT rights, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump, among others, and, on a parallel track, has been a science journalist, writing about AIDS, medical genetics, and mathematics; famously, they were dismissed as editor of the Russian popular-science magazine Vokrug Sveta for refusing to send a reporter to observe Putin hang-gliding with the Siberian cranes. Gessen is a Distinguished Writer in Residence at Bard College and the recipient of Guggenheim, Andrew Carnegie, and Nieman Fellowships, as well as the Hitchens Prize and the Overseas Press Club Award for Best Commentary. After more than twenty years as a journalist and editor in Moscow, they have been living in New York since 2013. Anand Giridharadas is an editor-at-large for TIME, an on-air political analyst for MSNBC, and a visiting scholar at New York University. He is the author of Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World; The True American: Murder and Mercy in Texas, about a Muslim immigrant's campaign to spare from Death Row the white supremacist who tried to kill him; and India Calling: An Intimate Portrait of a Nation's Remaking. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This event is a partnership between Lannan Foundation and Haymarket Books.

Anthea Butler was the Initiator of the #ScholarStrike. Inspired by the strikes and actions of the NBA, WNBA, Colin Kaepernick and other athletes, on August 26, 2020, Professor Butler called for a Scholar Strike on September 8-9. Partnering with Professor Kevin Gannon, this call brought thousands of academics and students into action, canceling official classes and instead carrying out direct actions and teach-ins. The message: “The academy needs to care about the racism and murders of African Americans by police in this country.” (Butler) #ScholarStrike was also inspired by the anti-war teach-in movement of the 1960s. Within days of Butler’s initial call, a dedicated YouTube channel was created for Scholar Strike, with dozens of lectures and discussions on race-related issues. Anthea Butler is Interim Chair of Religious Studies and Associate Professor of Religion and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Her current projects include two books: White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America, out in Spring 2021, and Reading Race: How Publishing Created a Lifeline for Black Baptists in Post Reconstruction America.
