Socialism 2025

Too many faith communities in the U.S. remain socially organized but politically unorganized and too many leftists overlook them as sites for base-building.

Who are the religious revolutionaries throughout history whose legacies could easily or perhaps already unite us? “Revolutionary love,” argues political theorist Joy James, “originates from the desire for the greater good that entails radical risk-taking for justice.” How do we cultivate and nurture this love in solidarity? This Highlander popular education workshop aims to answer these questions.
