This is a popular topic, and in an effort to make space for as many people to join as possible, we have decided to add a second session. Feel free to join one, the other, or both!
The dominant systems we live under oppress us, exploit us, make us ill both mentally and physically, and are literally fatal to both millions of humans and millions of other species as well. To speak of revolution in the era we are living through should not be radical, and yet it is. Derrick Jensen lists these atrocities and asks if we will not fight now, when will we? What will it take? And what shapes might those fights take?
What is revolution? The dominant discourse frames revolution as scary, irresponsible, even immoral. And yet, what could be more scary, more irresponsible, or more immoral than the situation we are already facing?
How do the frameworks we use for building power amongst ourselves shape the ways we show up in the slow-moving catastrophe that defines our era? For each other? For those we may never meet but are linked to in innumerable ways? For futures we believe in?
