📢 TOMORROW!

Project South's next Local to Global Webinar: 25 Years of Fighting the "War on Terror"! 🔗 Register here: bit.ly/NOWOT25 🗓️ Friday, September 11, 2026 @ 1-2pm ET The so-called “War on Terror” intensified aggressive imperial military occupations; expanded domestic surveillance; created DHS and ICE; and further shaped legal frameworks to counter dissent in the United States and around the globe. On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we recognize how the mechanisms for U.S. violence upon the Global South are informed by, and reinforce, the violence of the police state at home. As we build our strategies to protect Black people, Muslim communities, migrants, and all those facing criminalization and persecution in 2026, what lessons do we need to sharpen and apply from 25 years of fighting back against the “War on Terror”? Project South Staff Attorney and member of the Countering State Repression Initiative Sofía Verónica Montez will moderate a discussion on the current moment with frontline organizers working across global borders. Speakers: Khury Petersen-Smith - Institute for Policy Studies Fatema Ahmad - Muslim Justice League Nisrin Elamin - Sudan Solidarity Collective Moderator: Sofía Verónica Montez, Project South
