Our communities and the movements to defend them are under attack. The
far-right is heightening political repression, using despair to
overwhelm and immobilize us. Movement veterans who survived great
sacrifices in their struggles against racist state oppression remind us
that we have been here before-and that we can withstand it again. Now,
more than ever, we must learn from them how to organize under dire
circumstances.
JoNina Abron-Ervin transferred from the Black Panther Party's Detroit
branch to the Oakland headquarters in the early 1970s, where she became
the editor of the Party's newspaper. JoNina was a key organizer in the
BPP's survival programs, participating in the free breakfast, prison
visit transportation, and education programs. Accounts of these
experiences can be read in her forthcoming book from AK Press, Driven by
the Movement: Reports from the Black Power Era. Since then, she has
continued to fight for Black liberation across the American South, the
country, and the globe.
Lorenzo Kom'Boa Ervin was a member of the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and then shortly after, the Chattanooga
branch of the Black Panther Party (BPP). While incarcerated for his
contributions to the revolutionary struggle, Lorenzo connected Black
liberation struggles to anarchist theory through writing, foremost of
which is the contemporary classic Anarchism and the Black Revolution.
Since then, he has continued to build social movements across the
American South, the country, and the globe.
At these events you will hear JoNina and Lorenzo reflect on anecdotes
from Driven by the Movement, sharing lessons about fighting fascism that
are now more relevant than ever.
If you want to read more about the political activity of Lorenzo kom'boa
Ervin, we recommend this interview from 2020 conducted by William C.
Anderson.
