Global Crisis - Global Solidarity #4 With Kazembe Balagun

The protests against racial injustice that started in the US following the police killing of George Floyd are now sweeping the globe. From Minneapolis to Berlin, New York to Melbourne, protesters are demanding justice for Floyd, and at the same time taking aim at the forms of racism and police violence festering in their own societies. This week we will be joined by Kazembe Balagun, a New York-based writer, activist, and Project Manager at the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung's NYC Office to learn more about the US movement's demands and how the current uprising may be a chance to "reset American history".
