For over 40 years, Kumi Naidoo has been a voice amongst many for social, economic and environmental justice. From his humble township upbringing in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, to his work as an anti-Apartheid activist, to his leadership of international NGOs, Kumi has remained rooted in Martin Luther King’s Creative Maladjustment principles – refusing to normalize inequality and devoting himself to exposing injustice.
In this short interview with Asher Miller, PCI Executive Director, Kumi shares what has led him on this personal path for justice and how he has learned to care for himself throughout the journey.
On Tuesday, May 14, 2024, Kumi will be joining us as a guest speaker for the free online event, Welcome to the Great Unraveling: An Orientation to the Polycrisis.
From guest speakers Kumi Naidoo and Dr. Lyla June Johnston, we'll explore:
-- How humanity’s pursuit of endless growth got us into this mess
-- Why climate change, biodiversity loss, and other issues are symptoms of a larger systemic problem
-- A framework for understanding the converging crises of the 21st century
-- Ways you can get involved in being part of the solution
