Live With The 19th: The Future of Black Lives Matter
By The 19th News
In advance of Juneteenth, and a year after the summer of racial reckoning, The 19th is gathering leaders of the movement for a critical conversation on the future of Black Lives Matter. “Matter” is the minimum. What will it take to turn this broad decentralized social movement into political action, with equity and representation across the nation? Join The 19th's editor-at-large Errin Haines, civil rights activist Alicia Garza, and Rep. Karen Bass for this important discussion.
