SUMMARY:ASPE: The Election of Barack Obama: Black Misleadership & DC’S Political Future
DESCRIPTION:Barack Obama’s election was celebrated as a historic milestone for Black political representation\, but it also helped create the illusion that symbolic inclusion within existing institutions would lead to meaningful change and even liberation for Black communities. The elevation of Black political leaders often obscures the continued realities of economic inequality\, displacement\, state violence\, and political powerlessness facing Black people. This Assata Shakur Popular Education (ASPE) session will reflect on the promises and legacy of the Obama presidency\, examining its contradictions while considering its impact on political consciousness\, Black leadership\, and popular understandings of progress. Together\, we will discuss why genuine democracy requires more than representation and how community control can serve as the foundation for DC’s political future. \nLight snacks and refreshments will be provided! \nThis is a hybrid event with an option to participate online. Select the appropriate option when you register.

SUMMARY:DC's Summer Surge: Policing\, Repression\, & Building Community Resistance - ASPE
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, federal and local officials have announced a new “Summer Surge” initiative that will increase law enforcement operations across Washington\, DC. While presented as a response to public safety concerns\, the initiative exposes a fundamental contradiction: communities facing disinvestment\, unemployment\, displacement\, and unmet social needs are being met with increased policing rather than increased resources and democratic control over the conditions that shape their lives. This Assata Shakur Popular Education (ASPE) session will examine the political context and implications of the newly announced Summer Surge. Together\, we will discuss what genuine public safety looks like and how communities can build collective resistance and self-determination. \nFood will be provided! \nThis is a hybrid event with an option to participate online.
