A collective process, born out of Latin American social movements, Naming the Moment is meant to help assess and analyze social and political environments towards the end of developing informed and effective organizing strategy. With Trump's return to power, a group of long-time organizers came together to engage in this process throughout this past year, engaging in intense discussion and collaborative writing. Several of those involved, including AK Thompson & Paul Messersmtih-Glavin, will share what this group has arrived at, while inviting participants to discuss subjects such as the characteristics of the current crisis, the nature of the ruling-class and grassroots coalition supporting Trump, the state of the left over the last thirty years, and strategies for beating the authoritarians and creating a new world.
