  • Ecofeminism as working class politics

    Ecosocialism needs to be feminist. But how can we achieve this and what does this mean to the question of who will be the agents of the revolution we need?

    To change in a way that truly liberates us from capitalist exploitation and oppression, we need to revolutionize our understanding and relationship with labour in our society. In this session, we will discuss who is currently doing the work required to fulfil our needs related to subsistence and care, and how this reproductive class relates to the more traditional sense of working class.

    Then, we will talk about how the ecofeminists can organize towards the ecosocialist revolution: what works and what doesn’t? What else should we try?

    Join us in thinking about an ecofeminist working class, one that can truly encompass the marginalized majority of labour on earth, and which gives priority to the kind of work needed to resist and survive in a burning world and to build a different society centered on life and care.

  • We are the majority building an intersectional global movement

    We know that to build the biggest social movement in contemporary history we need everyone. The aim of this session is to come to some conclusions as to why inclusivity of different communities such as communities from the Global South, BIPOC, … is not only important, but crucial to a real ecosocialist climate struggle. The goal of this session is to listen to concrete activist experiences and to ask the question of how we can create bridges that outlive the capitalist system. In this interactive session we will look into the tools for building trust, networking and decolonizing our activism transparently.
