A MESSAGE TO OUR READERS
System Change Not Climate Change is proud to announce the unveiling of our newly redesigned website.
The need for a new website was thrust upon us by the announcement of “end of life” for the Drupal 7 technology on which we built our old site. If we didn't change, our site would soon become prey to malevolent hackers and bots. We didn’t want to subject you — or ourselves — to such attacks. (Bad enough that we’re all dealing with the fallout from mercenary spyware on Apple and other products.)
Although the move to a new platform has taken many hours of labor, it gave us an opportunity to rethink and improve the site. Beyond the facelift, you will soon find new features as we exploit the greater capabilities of our new environment. You’ll see more photography, music, and videos to complement the reporting and opinion that have been our most popular offerings.
We brought thousands of articles and graphics from the old site -- the living record of how our movement has evolved over the first eight years of System Change. The new site will make all of this content more accessible. Click on a category above an article or enter search terms in the ubiquitous search boxes and you’ll find yourself surfing through a rich trove of ecosocialist and climate movement history.
Our primary focus is, of course, still on the future. When we began publishing in 2013, we expressed our goals:
This is still our hope. Radical social change remains the only way forward.
We hope you enjoy exploring our website and sharing what you find with friends and associates. If you’re unfamiliar with our organization, please peruse our evolving Points of Unity document. If you’re new to ecosocialism, its history, ideas, and key works, please visit the resources linked to in our main menu. If you have a journalistic bent and would like to contribute original articles, please get in touch with our (all-volunteer) editorial team through our contact form.
We look forward to developing new functionality and adding fresh sections to SystemChangeNotClimateChange.org based on your feedback. We apologize in advance for any glitches and will be working diligently to iron out those that will inevitably arise. Please be in touch and let us know what you think.
And don’t forget to register for our upcoming webinar, the latest in the series we began last year. On Sunday, 26 September, 10:00 a.m. PDT, 1:00 p.m. EDT, 5:00 p.m. UTC, journalists Alex Hartzog and Maura Stephens, who wrote four recent stories on plastic pollution for us, will discuss their findings and ways we can halt this menace, which is on target to putting as much plastic by weight as there are fish in the seas. Register here.
In Solidarity,

What is SCNCC?
System Change Not Climate Change is a network of ecosocialists who believe capitalism is incompatible with prospects for a decent life for future generations on planet Earth. We are based principally in the United States and Canada but our perspective is internationalist and anti-imperialist.Want to collaborate?
SCNCC needs you if you want to become a part of our editorial/writing crew. The imperative of building an ecosocialist movement is now more urgent than ever. r34.
