One year after the publication of Beyond Survival: Strategies and Stories from the Transformative Justice Movement, we’ve witnessed a year of both huge abolitionist resistance and a triple pandemic. What’s needed right now, in this moment of transformative justice and abolitionist work?

Join authors of Beyond Survival, artists and organizers Ejeris Dixon and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha alongside local contributors Monica Forrester (Maggies Toronto), Chanelle Gallant, Elene Lam (Butterfly – Asian and migrant sex workers support network), Terri Monture (No More Silence) and Syrus Marcus Ware for a “fireside chat” about Beyond Survival. Guests will share specific and concrete tools for being accountable when you’ve been abusive and how to conduct community-based missing persons searches from a TJ framework. Q&A to follow.

Presented by McMaster University’s School of the Arts.
