“We need way more power being built. We need people out of advocacy mode, out of mobilizing mode and into really serious organizing.”— Jane McAlevey, a major voice in labor, died today. Jane had many pieces with In These Times. Most recent was this Q&A. inthesetimes.com/article/jane-m…

So sad to learn that Jane McAlevey has passed. I learned so much from her books and online organizing trainings in the pandemic. She would want us organizers to continue fighting like hell in her memory.

Solidarity. There has to be an ask. Please support Rosa Luxemburg Foundation so they are able to continue Jane's work.

Join Berkeley Labor Center this Thursday at 5pm US Pacific to honor Jane McAlevey. Berkeley was an important intellectual and teaching home for Jane in the last years of her life, and the great work they do there is imbued with her theory of change and accompanying organizing methods.

this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.

Rest In Peace, Prof. CM Naim sahab (1936-2025) ! He was a leading light in Urdu studies.

We are hosting our annual symposium at this year's Conf. on South Asia on Wednesday October 22 in Conference Room 4. Our theme is "Majoritarianism and Community Resilience in Modern India: Histories, Modalities, Futures." Read on for more about the symposium and presentations (1/6)

The purpose of this year's symposium is to address a critical gap in Hindutva scholarship. While academic engagements have examined its ideologies, strategies, and politics, far less attention has been paid to Muslim agency, resilience, and creative responses (2/6)

Following opening remarks by SAMSA President Yasmin Saikia and Vice President Megan Robb, the first panel's theme is "Memory-Making of a Minority" (3/6)

The symposium's second panel's theme is "Measuring Dispossession" (4/6)

The symposium's third panel's theme is "Storytelling and Embodied Resistance" (5/6)

The symposium will conclude with the round table "Beyond National Boundaries" and the announcement of our biennial SAMSA Book Award (more on that in a separate post). Please join us for any or all of these great panel discussions! (6/6)
