You are the keepers of the revolution. “Perhaps then, if we listen attentively, we shall hear amid the uproar of empires and nations, a faint flutter of wings, a gentle stirring of life and hope. Some will say that hope lies in a nation; others in a person. I believe rather that it is awakened, revived, nourished by millions of solitary individuals whose deeds and works every day negate frontiers and the crudest implications of history. As a result, there shines forth fleetingly the ever-threatened truth that each and every person, on the foundation of his or her own sufferings and joys, builds for all.” —Albert Camus, The Artist and His Time TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ..................................................................................

  • Updates – 16 Jan 2018
    JNYC ABCI Post Office Box 110034 Brooklyn, New York 11211 Updates for January 16th 1 Jan - Call for an International Day of Solidarity with Inauguration Day Defendants on January 20, 2018 This following call for worldwide solidarity on January 20th, 2018 takes place during a week of solidarity and outreach. MORE: On January 20, 2017, tens of thousands of people greeted President Donald Trump’s inauguration with large protests ranging from creative blockades to militant street actions. Among the demonstrations that day was an “anti-capitalist and anti-fascist bloc” led with banners reading “No Peaceful Transition” and “Make Racists Afraid Again”. In response to the protest, police violently attacked and encircled nearly 230 people, arresting them for allegedly committing or being in the proximity of property damage. After a series of indictments and legal maneuvering, around 200 people were ultimately charged with six felonies (5 counts of property destruction and inciting a riot) and two misdemeanors (engaging in a riot and conspiracy to riot) each. This means that each of these people are facing 61 years in prison. This unprecedented case is important because it is an attempt by the United States government to clamp down on the disruptive protests that spontaneously occurred in response to Trump’s election. The charges are intended to stifle active resistance and to send the message that resistance will not be tolerated at a time when it is needed more than ever. In many ways, the case is an experiment in expanding the repressive powers of the state, with prosecutors seeking to charge everyone as a group for the same handful of broken windows based merely on presence.

By power, I mean the kind of forward- looking grit and effort that makes a city tick and moves it, ever stronger, toward the future. TThose we heard from and celebrated at this year’s event are perfect examples of strong, innovative leaders moving the Los Angeles business community to new heights. We were beyond honored to share the stage with these terrific women. We also couldn’t help but beam with pride as our annual women’s event continued to evolve this year – into a genuine think tank and meeting of the minds, where trailblazing women from a wide array of industries and areas of expertise come together to share knowledge, information and best practices we can all learn from.
