Albany NY - You Only Get What You're Organized To Take

In You Only Get What You’re Organized to Take: Lessons from the Movement to End Poverty, Rev. Liz Theoharis and Noam Sandweiss-Back chronicle stories and learnings from some of the most significant anti-poverty struggles of the past 30 years. This book offers not only a powerful examination of the past, but a roadmap for how we ignite a new era of movement-building and democratic awakening.

Join the authors and other organizers and movement leaders for this event. There will be an opportunity to hear directly from them and engage in shared dialogue about conditions in Albany, New York, and the country as a whole.

We will also hear plans for the Survival Revival Organizing Tour — a bold new organizing drive among the poor. Over the coming year(s), grassroots leaders will criss-cross the country, connecting with and linking up community-level struggles for housing, food, wages, water, land, immigrant rights, bodily autonomy, peace, belonging, and more.

This event will be held at Milne Hall, Room 200. Please enter Milne Hall from the Washington Avenue side of campus (this is the only door that will be open to the public). See map below.

Hosted by the Kairos Center, United University Professions (UUP), the National Union of the Homeless, the Nonviolent Medicaid Army, and the New York Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival
