How come when we make decisions about what projects to work on and support we find ourselves in the absurd position of having to choose between social and ecological objectives?
How might we understand these two crucial elements of our lives and cultures as being fundamentally connected? What would these connections look like? What kind of conversations, what kind of projects, what kind of activism, might then be possible? The Liberation Ecology workshop will facilitate a dialogue around these questions and will focus on ways that both the environmental movement and the social justice movement can grow through recognizing the ways in which are fundamentally interrelated. It is geared to incite strategic engagement with the challenges and opportunities of making desirable social change in a complex and rapidly changing world.
