SUMMARY:Gil Durán and Wajahat Ali: The Rise of “The Nerd Reich”
DESCRIPTION:When Silicon Valley says it is “moving fast and breaking things\,” the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. In his new book\, The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy\, Gil Durán argues that something far more sinister is at work: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule. \nDurán chronicles what he calls the “tech-authoritarian movement” from its early days in San Francisco politics to its current moment on the international stage\, exploring the wild and dystopian ambition of the technocrats at its center\, and offering his road map to resistance. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Rashad Robinson: From Presence to Power
DESCRIPTION:Why do some struggles for justice succeed while others stall? What is needed to make effective social change\, especially in today’s world? According to Rashad Robinson\, it comes down to understanding the difference between presence and power. Failing to do so is one reason things got this way\, but understanding how power really works is a big part of how we get out of it. \nRobinson would know. As a social change strategist\, he’s spent more than 20 years at the highest levels of leadership in two of the most significant social movements of our time: the fight for LGBTQ rights and the fight for racial justice. He’s taken on tech giants and the criminal justice system\, politicians in Washington and corporate executives in Hollywood. He’s been on the front lines of protest and in the back rooms of negotiation. \nInfo & Tickets
