Our communities and the movements to defend them are under attack. The 
far-right is heightening political repression, using despair to 
overwhelm and immobilize us. Movement veterans who survived great 
sacrifices in their struggles against racist state oppression remind us 
that we have been here before-and that we can withstand it again. Now, 
more than ever, we must learn from them how to organize under dire 
circumstances.

JoNina Abron-Ervin transferred from the Black Panther Party's Detroit 
branch to the Oakland headquarters in the early 1970s, where she became 
the editor of the Party's newspaper. JoNina was a key organizer in the 
BPP's survival programs, participating in the free breakfast, prison 
visit transportation, and education programs. Accounts of these 
experiences can be read in her forthcoming book from AK Press, Driven by 
the Movement: Reports from the Black Power Era. Since then, she has 
continued to fight for Black liberation across the American South, the 
country, and the globe.

Lorenzo Kom'Boa Ervin was a member of the Student Nonviolent 
Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and then shortly after, the Chattanooga 
branch of the Black Panther Party (BPP). While incarcerated for his 
contributions to the revolutionary struggle, Lorenzo connected Black 
liberation struggles to anarchist theory through writing, foremost of 
which is the contemporary classic Anarchism and the Black Revolution. 
Since then, he has continued to build social movements across the 
American South, the country, and the globe.

At these events you will hear JoNina and Lorenzo reflect on anecdotes 
from Driven by the Movement, sharing lessons about fighting fascism that 
are now more relevant than ever.

If you want to read more about the political activity of Lorenzo kom'boa 
Ervin, we recommend this interview from 2020 conducted by William C. 
Anderson.
