[spectre] Empowerment vs Power - Disruptive Fridays - Today at 5pm CEST

[Tatiana Bazzichelli]

Dear all,

we are back with our Disruptive Fridays and I would like to invite you
to join us today Friday June 12, at 5pm CEST for our online debate. The
speakers all have specific experiences from the fight for justice &
equality, against racism, poverty, marginalization, homelessness,
criminalization and police brutality. What can we learn from their
struggles & achievements, to inform our own fights around the world?

Together with us will be Mutale Nkonde (Expert in Tech & Race, CEO of AI
For The People, Fellow Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at
Harvard), Melissa Segura (Investigative Reporter, BuzzFeed News, US) and
Marshall Trammell (Music Research Strategist, based in Oakland).
