As academics and grassroots organizers in LA, NYC, and New Jersey, we will share the creative research, documentation, and communication practices used in our work, especially around policing, deportation, gentrification, and transformative justice. We will explore diverse ways of knowing and seeking knowledge which help us challenge interlocking systems of oppression. We will discuss traditional academic tools and processes and new practices for knowledge building and movement building.
