What Alliances Do We Need In Perilous Times?

Live from the Arizona State University California Center Broadway in Los Angeles, CA: As coalitions, partnerships, and allegiances shift and emerge, Zócalo and an alliance of partners convene two back-to-back panels to discuss how we might best ally to survive this moment in history. The first panel explores how alliances are rebuilding Los Angeles in the wake of January’s fires, and features Altadena business owner Nadeerah Faquir, Center for Cultural Innovation president and CEO Angie Kim, climate action strategist Nina Knierim, and California Community Foundation president and CEO Miguel Santana, moderated by Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano. The second panel explores state, national, and global governance as a new U.S. administration takes power, featuring American diplomat Nina Hachigian, immigrant rights advocate Angelica Salas, and global democracy expert Laura Thornton, moderated by Zócalo columnist and Democracy Local founder Joe Mathews. This program was co-presented by Zócalo Public Square, ASU Mechanics of Democracy Lab, UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations, California Humanities, Los Angeles Local News Initiative, LA2050, KCRW, and Los Angeles Times.
