Mutual Aid in the Great Unraveling Part 1 with Daniel P Aldrich, Amira Odeh, and Richard Heinberg Post Carbon Institute 2023-03-23 | November 2022 Take Action Online EventDuring 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.CONNECT WITH POST CARBON INSTITUTE/RESILIENCE.ORGpostcarbon.orgresilience.orgSubscribe to PCI monthly newsletter: http://bit.ly/pci-subscribeSubscribe to daily/weekly Resilience.org digest: http://bit.ly/res-subscribeFollow PCI on Facebook: facebook.com/PostCarbonFollow Resilience on Facebook: facebook.com/buildresilienceFollow PCI on Twitter: twitter.com/postcarbonFollow Resilience on Twitter: twitter.com/buildresilienceCHECK OUT OUR OTHER TAKE ACTION EVENTS: postcarbon.org/event-videos

Mutual Aid in the Great Unraveling Session ll with Dean Spade, Joanna Swan, and Aliza Tuttle Post Carbon Institute 2023-03-23 | November 2022 Take Action Online Event Session IIDuring the second half of our event series, Mutual Aid in the Great Unraveling, we learned how each of us can get involved and promote mutual aid efforts within our own communities--regardless of where we are.PANELIST BIOS:Dean Spade has been working to build queer and trans liberation based in racial and economic justice for the past two decades. He’s an author, documentary director, and the creator of the mutual aid toolkit at BigDoorBrigade.com. His latest book, Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next), offers both a theoretical understanding of mutual aid and practical tools for sustaining this crucial movement work. Spade defines mutual aid as “collective coordination to meet each other’s needs, usually from an awareness that the systems we have in place are not going to meet them. Those systems, in fact, have often created the crisis.”Joanna Swan, harm reductionist and organizer with Streetwatch LA, trained by and in coalition with Skid Row organizers at Los Angeles Community Action Network (LA CAN). Streetwatch works with unhoused communities to fight the criminalization of poverty, and acknowledges that collective liberation and an end to homelessness will not be achieved through charity frameworks that ultimately serve to uphold racial capitalism. Joanna is currently organizing with unhoused tenants of a COVID-funded Project Roomkey hotel as they fight for dignity and permanent housing, in the face of evictions and compounded harm from the city.Aliza Tuttle is a Senior Research Assistant at Portland State University. She is a Food Action Team Facilitator for the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition and co-founded It’s On Us Corvallis (IOU) as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. When Tuttle saw the effects on the local food community and on the community-at-large she wanted to do something that brought people together and challenged emergency food systems, charity, and the meaning of food aid.

Navigating the Great Unraveling (Richard Heinberg) Post Carbon Institute 2022-12-05 | Post Carbon Institute's Richard Heinberg briefly summarizes some of the major environmental and societal crises humanity (and other species) faces as the consequences of a fossil-fueled, growth- and consumption-based capitalist economy that’s been built on the exploitation of people and the planet. The environmental philosopher Joanna Macy coined the term "the Great Unraveling" to describe the phenomenon of multiple, inter-related crises converging, while others use terms like "polycrisis" or "metacrisis."#climatechange #energy #fossilfuels #energycrisis #pollution #foodsystems #agriculture #biodiversity #nature #resources #naturalresources #inequality #debt #financialsystem #pandemics #ai #politics #greatunraveling #postcarbon #joannamacy

Douglas Rushkoff | Crazy Town Podcast Post Carbon Institute 2022-11-02 | Bonus episode: Tech Bros on Acid with Douglas Rushkoff-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Douglas Rushkoff revisits Crazy Town for an interview with Asher Miller. He and Asher discuss why so many billionaires, academic institutions, and "serious" people are drawn to longtermism - the view that our top priority should be ensuring that humanity can spread its wings throughout the physical and virtual universe. What's the suffering of a few billion people in the here and now, when there's quadrillions, no quintillions, of potential future people to worry about? Sure, the climate crisis is bad. But is it really an existential threat? Douglas explains why, when you take a tech bro to drink Ayahuasca in the Amazon, he still comes back a tech bro. And why, when you hear buzzwords like longtermism, effective altruism, and transhumanism, all you need to ask is: Does it perpetuate capitalism? Asher and Douglas riff on why longtermism is denialism – denial of death, denial of the body, and denial of responsibility – and why the antithesis is living in the here and now, with our neighbors. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Transcript can be found here: postcarbon.org/crazytown/bonusdouglasrushkoffThe Team Human Podcast and book: https://www.teamhuman.fm/The Clock of the Long Now: longnow.org/clock“Understanding Long-Termism: Why This Suddenly Influential Philosophy is So Toxic" by Émile P.

Noam Chomsky | Crazy Town Podcast Post Carbon Institute 2022-08-10 | Bonus: Noam Chomsky on Crazy Town-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As a follow up to Episode 61 of the Crazy Town podcast (postcarbon.org/crazytown/episode-61), Noam Chomsky, the well-known linguist, author, and social critic, joins Asher Miller for an interview in Crazy Town to discuss the failures and dominance of neoliberalism — which Chomsky describes as “class war” — since delivery of the Powell Memo 50 years ago.Chomsky responds to George Monbiot’s critique of the political center and left for not, in Monbiot’s view, developing viable alternatives to neoliberalism. Disagreeing with Monbiot’s (and admittedly Post Carbon Institute’s own) views about the limits of Keynesian “green growth” economic policies, Chomsky discusses proposals developed by places like the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) that he believes would meet the needs of the poor and working classes while tackling the climate crisis. Noam’s emphasis on community power, going back to his childhood experiences, strongly resonate with “Do the Opposite” themes explored in Season 4 of Crazy Town. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chomsky.infoText of “Attack on American Free Enterprise System” (The Powell Memorandum): https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1000&context=powellmemoGeorge Monbiot’s essay, “Neoliberalism – the ideology at the root of all our problems,” (April 15, 2016): theguardian.com/books/2016/apr/15/neoliberalism-ideology-problem-george-monbiotThe Political Economy Research Institute at University of Massachusetts: https://peri.umass.edu/The Ocasio-Cortez-Markey Green New Deal, H.Res.109 - Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal: congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/109/text-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Crazy Town podcast website: postcarbon.org/crazytownFollow the Crazy Town podcast on Facebook: facebook.com/crazytownshowReview Crazy Town on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crazy-town/id1454850590?uo=4-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#crazytownpodcast #PostCarbonInstitute #noamchomsky #climatechange #inequality #neoliberalism #Keynes #GeorgeMonbiot #unions #labor #Republicans #Democrats #politics #class #Marx #NewDeal #greennewdeal #alexandriaocasiocortez #edwardmarkey #fossilfuels

A prolific writer, Henderson authored nine books and hundreds of articles leading to what is now known as sustainability and growing the “green” economy. Henderson is best known as a Lifelong Futurist who 40 years ago forecasted the need for the current transition from the fossil fuel era to the 21st century green economy worldwide in her groundbreaking book, The Politics of the Solar Age, (Doubleday, 1981) which was the lead review in the New York Times Book Review on Sept. 13, 1981.
