Monteiro will speak at Black Agenda Report’s 13th Anniversary celebration at the People’s Forum in New York City, on Saturday, October 26, under the theme: “Towards a Left that is Worthy of Black People and the Working Class.”

We’re still suffering in those jails, next to Black straight men,” and from violence and poverty.
