  • 17 January | Webinar | Ecofeminism as working class politics

    17 January | Webinar | 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?

    On this webinar, we will have a conversation, counting with the special participation of Júlia Martí, Nina López, Selma James and Stefania Barca to start talking about 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.

    This will initiate the conversation on the session we will have in Lisbon on the Ecosocialist Encounters, where we will also 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 labor 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.”

  • 11 January | Webinar | Youth movement: radical and ecosocialist

    11 January | Webinar | Youth movement: radical and ecosocialist

    On this webinar previous to the ecosocialist encounters, we will talk about the youth movement and the political scenario after the climate mobilizations that took place all over the world. We want to talk about what to do with the outrageous insignificant institutional response that the youth climate mobilizations of 2019 received; and we want to understand how the organizers feel about this.

    We aim to initiate the discussion we will have on the “youth movement: radical and ecosocialist” session we will have in Lisbon, on the ecosocialist encounters.
