Conference
Dear Climate Rebels,
--- PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY ---
Registration form and overview schedule now online! Housing information will be up soon.
21st Century EcoSocialism
University of California, Santa Barbara, Oct. 9-11, 2015
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 more than ever is the time for 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 discuss what it means to change the system, renew old friendships and make new connections, and work towards building a climate justice movement that unapologetically confronts capitalism.
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, please use our proposal form by the September 15th deadline.
