21st Century Ecosocialism
Conference
Dear Climate Rebels,--- PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY ---
21st Century Ecosocialism Conference: A Call for Action
Our global community is experiencing unprecedented climate destabilization. With the heat index in Iran rising to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, wild fires torching California and Washington State, rampant and ever-increasing ocean acidification and air pollution, we must address our current ecological crisis and the nature of its systemic inequalities NOW. Now more than ever is the time for the radical West Coast climate activists to come together with radical system change as the only viable solution to our climate crisis in mind.
Join us on October 9-11, 2015, at the University of California, Santa Barbara, for a conference on “21st Century Ecosocialism: Practicing System Change, Making Connections, Building a Movement,” to learn what it means to change the system, make connections amongst ourselves while meeting old compañer@s and making new friends, all while building a movement that unapologetically confronts capitalism with joy in our hearts.
Confirmed speakers include Chris Williams, author of Ecology and Socialism; Kshama Sawant, Seattle City Council member (via skype); David Klein, director of the Climate Science Program at CSU Northridge; Jeremy Brecher, labor and social movement historian and author (via skype), Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org (via skype); and Ragina Johnson, Native American ecosocialist activist and writer.
If you would like to submit a workshop, we encourage you to use our proposal form by the September 15th deadline.
A West Coast People’s Climate Train from the Bay Area will be organized!
