Commemorating Attica

On September 29th from 6-8 PM, join EPIC, NYU NLG, and the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law for reflections from:

Lateef Absury, an elder who witnessed and survived the Attica uprising,

Martin Stoler and Daniel Alterman, two NYU Law grads who represented those involved, and 

Soffiyah Elijah, Executive Director of the Alliance of Families for Justice and a visionary leader and movement lawyer who is continuing the fight against the carceral system today.

Jason Williamson, Executive Director of the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law will moderate the discussion. 

We will contemplate movement lawyering as practiced after the Attica uprising 50 years ago, what has changed, and what has stayed the same. Grounded in our history, we will discuss how we can mobilize ourselves and our communities towards prison abolition and beyond.
