November 2022 Take Action Online Event
During the first half of our event series, Mutual Aid in the Great Unraveling, we learned about the importance of social ties and building community resilience during the coming times of the Great Unraveling.
PANELIST BIOS:
Daniel P. Aldrich, professor of political science and Director of the Security and Resilience Studies Program at Northeastern University, has studied social capital’s role in building resilience of communities and their abilities to recover post-disaster. He researches post-disaster recovery, countering violent extremism, the siting of controversial facilities, and the interaction between civil society and the state. Dr. Aldrich defines social capital as the ties that bind us to other people and argues that these ties are one of our most important resources in a disaster.
Amira Odeh was born and raised in Puerto Rico. She is a Senior Organizer at 350.org and co-founder of both the Caribbean Climate Network and Caribe Siembra. Amira began her environmental activism and justice career while in college, where she received a degree in hydrology, by fostering sustainable water consumption on campus, the success of which led her to receive the Brower Youth Award in 2013. After Hurricane Maria wiped out 80% of Puerto Rico’s agriculture, Amira and colleagues at CYEN launched “Regreen Puerto Rico,” a grassroots effort to plant fruit trees and food plants across Puerto Rico.
Richard Heinberg is the author of fourteen books including Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival, The Party’s Over, Powerdown, Peak Everything, and The End of Growth. He is Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute and is widely regarded as one of the world’s most effective communicators of the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels.
