Widely considered the “dean of the 20th century US peace movement,” AJ Muste’s brand of inter-faith, class-based, coalition politics still has relevance to movement-building today. In this inter-active workshop led by members of the AJ Muste Foundation, we will discuss Muste’s personal history and legacy, the work of his contemporaries and protégés such as Barbara Deming and Bill Sutherland, and our contemporary work. Some of this includes confronting grave injustices in the prison industrial complex, struggling for human rights and freedoms in the context of a cyber-security state, and working to support new movements across ideological lines and beyond old, sectarian divisions. Despite bumps along the road, we will begin a dialogue on ways to build stronger, more effective movements of social change.
