CUNY Graduate Center
365 5th Avenue
The Center for Place, Culture, and Politics (CPCP) and the Kairos Center present:
In You Only Get What You’re Organized to Take: Lessons from the Movement to End Poverty, Rev. Liz Theoharis and Noam Sandweiss-Back chronicle stories and learnings from some of the most significant anti-poverty struggles of the past 30 years. This book offers not only a powerful examination of the past, but a roadmap for how we ignite a new era of movement-building and democratic awakening.
The Center for Place, Culture, and Politics is delighted to host this event alongside the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice. There will be an opportunity to hear directly from the authors and other grassroots organizers, as well as engage in shared dialogue about conditions in New York and the country as a whole.
We will also hear plans for the Survival Revival Organizing Tour—a bold new organizing drive among the poor. Over the coming year(s), grassroots leaders will criss-cross the country, connecting with and linking up community-level struggles for housing, food, wages, water, land, immigrant rights, bodily autonomy, peace, belonging, and more.
This event is co-organized by the Center for Place, Culture and Politics at CUNY. It is Free and Open to the Public.
