Matrix on Point: Organize! Power and Collective Action
May 5th, 2022
4:00pm-5:30pm Pacific Time / 7:00pm-8:30pm Eastern Time
What can we learn from historical and contemporary cases about building organizations that engage, mobilize and manage to wield influence on the political process? What kinds of infrastructural choices best support engagement and success in the long run? Panelists will explore the varied and changing terrain of collective action to reflect on the nature, promises and pitfalls of associational power in the 21st century. This event is co-sponsored by UC Berkeley Social Science Matrix and the Center on Democracy and Organizing.
This event will be held in-person at Social Science Matrix (820 Social Sciences Building, UC Berkeley) and will also be livestreamed via Zoom.
