"Disruption and the Legal System: Transforming Harm in Turbulent Times"
About this Event
Boston College, Boston College Law School, 899 Centre Street, Newton, MA 02459, USA
To disrupt (verb): “to break apart: rupture; to throw into disorder; to interrupt the normal course or unity of; to cause upheaval in.”
What does it mean to disrupt systems? When is disruption of use? When is it morally necessary? When is it possible? And who can do it and how?
Conceived and moderated by Rappaport Senior Fellow Danielle Sered, this panel will explore disruption as a deliberate, courageous strategy—one that challenges core assumptions about power, legitimacy, and accountability, and creates space for real transformation. Panelists will explore how organizing, advocacy, and repair can provide tools for resistance and reform.
Invited panelists include: Emmanuel "Noble" Williams, Executive Director, Transformational Prison Project; Jessica Tang, President, AFT Massachusetts; Joey Mogul, Director of Movement Partnerships, Movement Law Lab; and J.J. Straight, National Campaigns Director for Reproductive Rights, ACLU.
