An Evening with Rebecca Solnit- An energizing case for hope about the climate

Called “the voice of the resistance” by The New York Times, writer, historian and activist Rebecca Solnit, the author of 20 books on feminism, western and indigenous history, popular power, social change and insurrection, hope and disaster, and most recently Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility, will discuss her view that the future will be decided by whether we act in the present-and she says we must act-to counter institutional inertia, fossil fuel interests, and political obstinacy.
Guided by her typical clear-eyed wisdom, Rebecca Solnit will lead our audience from discouragement to possibilities, from climate despair to climate hope. Solnit will be joined by co-editor and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua and native Fijian Fenton Lutunatabua (participating virtually), calling on us to rise to the moment with the benefit of indigenous wisdom and by telling new stories.
In association with Bioneers 2023.

Why no reference to Ukrainian war and the stories being told there in relation to radical, communities (local and international) stepping in and up’ and climate change on the ground there.
