Successful climate justice organizing relies on an accurate and comprehensive analysis of the problems confronting humanity.
We have exposed exploitative systems and oppressions as the root causes and threats to life on Earth. (For example, capitalism is an extraction economy based on greed, racism, classism, sexism, colonization, genocide, and war.) These systems and oppressions have successfully used a “divide and conquer” strategy to confuse oppressed peoples about their common goals and turn us against one another so they can maintain power and weaken our movements for change. This parallel event will explore strategies for climate justice organizing that transcends the oppressive concept of human enemies.
