How have crises created opportunities for progressive social change? What kinds of opportunities are being created by the crises we are experiencing now? What work is being done, on the ground, to develop transformative solutions to deep-seated economic, social, and political problems? 

Join Tom O’Connell, former Metro State University professor and KFAI radio talk-show host, and artist-activist Ricardo Levins-Morales as they explore these questions. You will be able to add your own comments and questions as the conversation develops and for a period of time after the speakers have concluded. 

“Artist by trade, a healer by temperament and a troublemaker by necessity,” Ricardo Levins- Morales combines art, writing and close relationships with emerging social justice activists to support the struggle for a more livable world. Ricardo will share some thoughts on the broad sweep of movement history and his participation in MPD 150, the community-led report that helped spark the movement to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with new approaches to public safety and well-being.  For more about Ricardo’s work, please visit his website at https://www.rlmartstudio.com/.
