The crises of global capitalism (inequality, instability, unsustainability, and incipient fascism) deepen daily. Consider Trump&#8217;s and Boris Johnson&#8217;s desperate extreme-right efforts to be re-elected, and consider that total global debts (of corporations, governments, and households) tripled between 1999 and 2019. Brazil&#8217;s Bolsonaro blames Leonardo di Caprio for burning the Amazon. Vast crowds in Chile, Lebanon, and France are in the streets demanding basic economic change. These and many other symptoms expose a declining system in mounting troubles.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more event information:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.brownpapertickets.com\/event\/4486333\">http:\/\/www.brownpapertickets.com\/event\/448&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2020\/02\/04\/18830375.php\">https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2020\/02\/04\/18830375.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saturday, February 29<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7.

Understanding systemic inequities and how to engage with these social systems is paramount for activists to effectively combat human trafficking. To foster increased understanding, the upcoming Freedom in Action Conference provides an opportunity to explore why trafficked victims of color are often incarcerated; deconstruct why children under Child Protection Services and the Foster Care system are more vulnerable to trafficking; learn why substance use and being HIV positive often leads to being a victim of sex trafficking; engage with the systems that often bind immigrant victims to trafficking; and expose the systematic prejudices and social structures that cause homeless youth and those identifying as LGBTQ+ to be trafficked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This conference will encourage discussion between people with different conceptions and experiences of human trafficking and aims to present best-practices for engaging in anti-trafficking work, and to connect with local organizations leading the anti-trafficking movement in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: Anti-Trafficking Coalition at Berkeley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/659969647863065\/?notif_t=event_calendar_create&amp;notif_id=1582826471884160\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/659969647863065\/?notif_t=event_calendar_create\u00acif_id=1582826471884160<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15.
