Our Dismantling Racial Capitalism Series is officially back! Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Steve Williams conducted a wide-ranging and scintillating conversation, moderated by The Action Lab’s Senior Housing Fellow Gianpaolo Baiocchi, on February 13th that traversed a diversity of topics from housing policy to wealth inequality to Marxist theories of the state. We hosted the event at NYU Law’s Greenberg Lounge in collaboration with our anchor partners The Initiative for Community Power, Urban Democracy Lab, and Law and Political Economy NYC as well as The Center for Race Inequality & The Law. It was a packed and vibrant room. We are committed to hosting more of these conversations in the coming months to spark new ideas and reimagine what is politically possible.
