About this event (5-6 PM)< br /> How are authoritarians able to win over so m any white people? And convince them that they’re b etter off with fewer rights and economic instabili ty? And what will it take to beat them at their ow n game?

\n

MAGA-style\, au thoritarian governments are winning elections acro ss the globe with unapologetic racism at the cente r of their campaigns. And Black people\, Muslims\, and immigrants are overwhelmingly experiencing th e violent attacks of their regimes. In 2020\, mill ions of people from Minneapolis to Milan hit the s treets in response to the racist murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and went searching for w hat it means to be anti-racist. Six years later\, in a time of authoritarian consolidation\, what do es it mean to show up as an anti-racists today?

\n

Join Showing Up for Racia l Justice (SURJ) with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi to explor e these topics and more in a conversation about hi s latest book\, Chain of Ideas: the Origins of Our Authoritarian Age\, a deep-dive on the startling effectiveness of the use of the “Great Replacement Theory” over time and in this moment. In his book \, Dr. Kendi charts the steps– what he calls “the chain of ideas” – that authoritarians have built t o create the conditions for authoritarianism to th rive.

\n

Together\, we’ll talk about how they use the chain of ideas to driv e us apart\, what it will take to understand ourse lves as more deeply connected\, and then get into the particular role and responsibility that white Americans have in this work.

\n

Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is the largest organization in the US that explicitly org anizes white communities for racial and economic j ustice.
