Oppose and Propose<\/em>, by Andrew Cornell, just out from AK Press, documents and examines the history of Movement for a New Society. MNS was a radical formation in the 70s and 80s that brought together many of the ideas and practices that are now commonplace among radical activists, such as consensus decision-making, spokescouncils, collective living, unlearning oppressive behavior, and nonviolent direct action. This book opens critical questions for activists today. Join us in welcoming author Andrew Cornell to Olympia.<\/p>\n

There will be a panel \u00a0led \u00a0by Andrew Cornell and also joined by Harjit Singh Gill, a thoughtful \u00a0activist from the San Francisco Bay \u00a0area, and Chris Dixon, who graduated from Evergreen in 2000 who \u00a0was instrumental in having Mumia as a graduation speaker that year, \u00a0was an active campus organizer and a major organizer \u00a0of the 1999 Seattle protests against the WTO which he has written about. \u00a0\u00a0They will lead a discussion on the lessons from the theory and practice of Movement for a New Society for people interested in activism today.<\/p>\n
