A public lecture with journalist and organizer Jordan Flaherty
How can we fight back in this moment? How do we build a better world? What does accountable organizing look like? What is the role for people with privilege in liberation movements? A conversation with journalist and organizer Jordan Flaherty about his new book “No More Heroes: Grassroots Challenges to the Savior Mentality.” From the Crusades to Black Lives Matter, No More Heroes is a grassroots history of resistance to the savior mentality. This book weaves the stories of teachers, international volunteers, sex workers, FBI informants, indigenous organizers, and prison abolitionists into a narrative of revolutionary change that travels from Alaska to Palestine, from Karl Marx to Muhammad Ali, and from KONY 2012 to the Red Cross.
