A conversation between Jessica Gordon Nembhard and local organizers about Atlanta’s movement history
A powerful virtual conversation between renowned scholar Jessica Gordon Nembhard and frontline organizers in Atlanta as they explore the city’s rich history of resistance, collective building, and the ongoing fight for justice. This panel included Ayinde Summers (Project South), Eric Simpson (West Georgia Farmers Cooperative), and Allison Johnson (Housing Justice League). Together, they explored Atlanta’s pivotal role in shaping social movements and offered insights into the strategies and visions that guide the path toward liberation. Atlanta’s history is filled with powerful examples of how communities have used solidarity and collective action to fight for justice and build alternatives to oppression. These stories remind us that the roots of today’s movements run deep—and that we stand on the shoulders of giants. This event is a prelude to the Resist & Build Summit (May 2-5, 2025), setting the stage for collective action and solidarity.
