A Talk and Interview with Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson
Sunday, September 2010 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern
To survive, we must swiftly transition to ecosocialism. But how do we do that? Join us on September 20th to hear Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson describe that organization's inspiring model of local cooperative living, and its visionary Call to Action: Towards a General Strike to End the COVID-19 Crisis and Create a New World.
Kali will discuss the pathway forward, using what the Call to Action describes as "the greatest power we have at our disposal: our collective labor." Kali's presentation will be followed by a Question and Answer period led by System Change Not Climate Change author/activist Carol Dansereau.
You can learn more about Cooperation Jackson by visiting its website and reading “It’s Eco-socialism or Death,” an interview with Kali Akuno published by Jacobin Magazine.
Register now for Zoom. We will also livestream on our Facebook page.

Richard Smith on China's Engine of Environmental Collapse
| August 31, 2020
China presents a climate crisis paradox. It leads the world in photovoltaic and wind power production and installed capacity of both, and President Xi Jinping says he wants to remake China as an “ecological civilization.” Yet it’s also the world's largest CO2 emitter by far and the government is slashing funding for renewables while ramping up spending on more coal-fired power plants. How do we explain these contradictions? In this engaging webinar, Promise Li interviews System Change Not Climate Change co-founder Richard Smith on his new book China’s Engine of Environmental Collapse (Pluto, July 2020) Richard presents an ecosocialist analysis of China's role in the climate emergency and the powerful drivers within Chinese society that stand in the way of China's becoming an ecological civilization.
