What happens when dissent becomes evidence and how do we push back?

​

At our Chicago Radical Dinner Party, about 20 lawyers, legal workers, and students gathered over tacos to explore how repression targets movements and how we can strengthen our collective response. Through small group discussions, we connected surveillance, criminalization, and division to the power structures they protect, then shared ideas for resistance rooted in relationships, resources, and movement leadership.

Different generations, backgrounds, and experiences deepened the conversation. Everyone had space to speak, learn, and contribute to a shared understanding. Hosting a dinner creates an opportunity to build the connections that sustain our work. Start small, share a meal, ask meaningful questions, and make room for everyone. Community grows when we create space for it!
