description:
Donald Trump's victory last year was met with outrage across the world with upwards of five million people marching on January 21st to protest against his inauguration - one of the largest mass movements in recent times. It is clear that more and more people are asking: How can we resist?

Yet whilst it’s easy to look at the USA as being particularly bad, it’s worth remembering that right wing politics have been sweeping across the globe. This isn’t just in the form of far-right parties like the Front National or Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom, but also in long established political parties shifting rightwards. 

In the UK it’s difficult to remember a more right-wing climate, as not only are hate crimes on the rise, but politicians such as Theresa May continue to push a regressive and harmful policies.

Current institutions and media outlets are not working in the interests of the many but in the interests of a privileged few (best encapsulated by George Osborne being made Editor of the Evening Standard). 

So, what can be done? Many people have reacted to austerity by funnelling into the Labour Party, which now has one of the largest memberships in Western Europe. But, is this strategy doomed to fail? Can Parliamentary politics ever bring about tangible change?

If not, how can we articulate a politics that is not simply reactionary, but invested in building new structures?

This panel will discuss the various strategies of resisting and organizing and what we can all do followed by a lengthy Q&A.

Panellists:

∙       Dr Eddie Bruce Jones – Senior Lecturer, Birkbeck School of Law

∙       Marai Larasi – Black Feminist Activist - and Executive Director at Imkaan

∙       Imani Robinson – Organizer, curator, writer

∙       Micahel Walker – Labour activist and Novara Media
