Uh, they're all on a theme exploring in different ways what the current manifestation of what we've called health fascism looks like in the US, how to think about it, what to do about it.

That includes a session with Beatrice and Dashaun L. Harrison called Health Fascism, Body Politics, and the Anti-State State, a session called Trans Care in the Age of Health Fascism with B, S. Lamble, and Vicky Osterweil, um, and a session called Care Networks, Abolition, and the Fight Against Border Policing with Beatrice, Silky Shah, and A. Naomi Pike, um, possibly with an additional mystery participant as well.

If you're not going, uh, these sessions will eventually be in the feed as soon as we get the recordings of them from the conference itself.

And the session with Dashaun, uh, Health Fascism, Body Politics, and the Anti-State State will be live-streamed, so please join us for that.

We had a wide-ranging conversation about our shared political formation in the years after 9-11 and what their organizations are doing in what feels like a fresh moment of opportunity to question the logic of the war on terror, to dismantle the weapons built to fight it.
