Content: Haymarket Presents Ruth Wilson Gilmore in conversation with Barbara Ransby on abolition, racial capitalism, and more. Link in bio for in-person and virtual tickets. Ruth Wilson Gilmore is one of the world’s foremost thinkers on racism, racial capitalism, and abolition. As she says, “abolition is presence.” In her conversation with Barbara Ransby, the two will explore Gilmore’s work, discuss the organized violence of the state, and make the case for the urgency of building organizations committed to making tomorrow better by making today better. This in person event will be live-streamed through Haymarket Books. Register through Ticket Tailor to receive a link to the video conference on the day of the event. We ask that all in-person attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of the speaker and other guests. We will have a reception afterwards with light refreshments and books available for purchase. This event is co-sponsored by Pilsen Community Books and Haymarket Books, and is part of the Haymarket Presents speakers series. While all of our events are freely available, we ask that those who are able make a solidarity donation in support of our important publishing and programming work.
