Subject: SEA Talk Event June 10: Decolonization: What it is and Where to Begin

Hi everyone,

You're invited to a SEA Talk event at the Fernwood Hall on TUESDAY, JUNE 10 at 1923 Fernwood at 7pm for a lecture and discussion on Decolonization.

From the Facebook Event Page:
"Decolonization is a profound process of unlearning and liberation for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who wish to address their positions in a system of exploitation and then commit themselves to transforming that system and building a better world.

Pursuing solutions beyond capitalism must start with untangling the legacy of genocide and expropriation upon which the modern world-economy was built. Thus, the revolutionary futures of all peoples are inextricably bound together.

"From Turtle Island to Palestine, striving toward decolonization and walking together toward transformation requires us to challenge a dehumanizing... social organization that perpetuates our isolation from each other and normalizes a lack of responsibility to one another and the earth."
--Harsha Walia

The Social Environmental Alliance invites you to a conversation on how to move forward together. Featuring special guest speakers."

We look forward to seeing you there!
