The planet is on fire, right wing authoritarian governments are on the rise, and marginalized groups are increasingly targeted and scapegoated as the vast majority suffer under rising economic inequality. Amidst the current moment of polycrisis, many are calling for organizing as a necessary political response. But what does organizing actually mean, and how does it differ from other social change strategies? In this interactive presentation, participants will learn about some of the fundamental principles and histories of community organizing as a form of leadership and a craft, and hear from a climate justice organizer and anthropologist on some of the challenges and possibilities for applying these lessons on the ground.
