Making Worlds Cooperative Bookstore & Social Center Book launch and Discussion: Abolition and Dignity: Spiritual Resources for Revolution

How are spiritual and moral imaginations opening us to new, just worlds? Three writers and activists will open a conversation about this question.

Jasmine Syedullah and Jared Ware, contributors to the book Spirituality and Abolition, and Vincent Lloyd, author of Black Dignity: The Struggle Against Domination. Bringing expertise organizing against incarceration and advancing racial justice, drawing on Buddhism, Christianity, African syncretic religions, and other traditions, the three speakers will explore the complex, ambivalent ways that religious and spiritual traditions hinder and help struggles to transform the world.
