Is it possible to build meaningful coalitions between anti-racist movements like Black Lives Matter and the electoral left? Speakers from the USA and the UK will consider the lessons that have been learnt in the last few months since the killing of George Floyd, exploring what a fruitful relationship between mass movements and legislative politics might look like.

Dalia Gebrial is a PhD candidate at the London School of Economics, and an editor at Novara Media.
Bianca Cunningham is a member of Democratic Socialists of America.
Professor of Sociology and co-director of the Centre for Migration, Refugees and Belonging at the University of East London. Her recent work includes Rethinking Racial Capitalism (Rowman and Littlefield, 2018) and Crisis, austerity and everyday life (Palgrave, 2015).
Nelini Stamp is the National Organizing Director at the Working Families Party. She works with volunteer leaders across the country to build local progressive infrastructure.
