Michael Novick of Anti-Racist Action LA and People Against Racist Terror
(ARA-LA/PART) talks about anti-racist work and dismantling colonialism.
Novick connects different social justice issues and how everyone has a
stake in the struggle for human liberation. He also lays out the
historical progression of settler colonialism in the western United States
and how important it is today for people to be self-critical of an
internal colonization that misleads people into identifying with their own
oppressor. Novick’s approach to community organizing recognizes a common
humanity that includes building alliances, self-determination and
developing a “total politics” that include all oppressed people and
groups.
