Goodbye Capitalism: Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World

Description: This panel offers reflections on what this pandemic has taught us about how crises are dealt with in our society – by governments, by organizers, by our communities. What have we learned? Who was left behind-whose voices and experiences were not centered? Where could we have done better? What do we need to do to mitigate the effects of this crisis now and come out stronger and more resilient? If we are ready to fight for another world, we have to say goodbye to systems that no longer serve the interests of our collective liberation.
