> The Global Tapestry of Alternatives stands with the Black Lives Matter
> movement in resisting racism and fighting for equality across the US and
> globally. We have invited Kali Akuno, co-founder and co-director of
> Cooperation Jackson for our fifth webinar on “People's strikes, Floyd
> rebellion and resistance”. Cooperation Jackson is an emerging vehicle for
> sustainable community development, economic democracy and community
> ownership based in the US. Kali will be sharing experiences of the current
> resistance struggles and solidarity mobilisation in the US.
> The webinar takes place on 16 June which is a symbolic day in anti-racist
> struggles, commemorating the start of the Soweto uprising in South Africa
> in 1976. In echoes from the past, the South Africa Students Movement
> supported by the Black Consciousness Movement marched to protest the
> apartheid education imposed within the Bantu Education system. We remember
> the Uprising as a turning point in the struggle against the apartheid state
> and against racism.
