Beyond the Imperial Core: Organizing against US Empire & American Exceptionalism

Dissenters members speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Dissenters. Join Dissenters to hear from young people who recently traveled to Cuba, the Philippines and Guatemala on political delegations. On this panel, they’ll share vibrant pictures of the impacts of US empire across these three distinct geographies, uplift resistance and organizing from indigenous & local communities, and ground us in the responsibilities of those of us who live within the so-called United States. A focus will be on pushing back against internalized US exceptionalism in our movements, and integrating internationalism and anti-militarism into domestic racial, economic and environmental justice work. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
