About this leqture:
Why has it suddenly gained so much interest during this Corona crisis. Is there a correlation? Should we protest what is happening in the USA? Or do the same problems occur in other countries? And what’s next? What are the demands of the Black Lives Matter movement? Jennifer also focuses on the movement since 2020, what has been called the ‘George Floyd Effect’ which resulted in ‘global mobilization and protests around the world! The rapid financial and organizational growth has led to the recent controversy, which has also had a ripple effect on the global chapters. You’ll learn about the coalition of these grassroots chapters, about the Global Network Foundation and about the relevance of the movement, its mission, and its purpose today.Jennifer will shed her light on the matter during this session, followed by a Q&A.
