Join us for a compelling Book Talk co-hosted by The Action Lab, LPE NYC, and The Initiative for Community Power (ICP) featuring Vincent Bevins, author of "IF WE BURN". This event unpacks the paradox of global protests not leading to more equitable societies, from the Arab Spring to Chile and Hong Kong, through Bevins' research and firsthand accounts. Analilia Mejia, a leader in the progressive movement, will join the conversation, exploring activism's outcomes and strategies for future efforts. Moderated by award-winning journalist Anjali Kamat, this panel will delve into the storytelling's role in revolutionary change, providing insights into the challenges and potential of social movements.
