Detroit Will Breathe organizers Tristan Taylor and Lloyd Simpson joined Party for Socialism and Liberation members Shabbir Manjee in Chicago, and Joel Ibrahim and Lillian House in Denver for an online forum on Dec. 5. They discussed state repression of the anti-racist movement and how to effectively counter it. The event was organized by the Detroit PSL.
In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, the activist group Detroit Will Breathe held over 150 days of peaceful protests for racial justice, often facing down police violence. Their actions included a march on Oct. 24 in racist Shelby Township in Macomb County, Mich.
