Flexing Our Power: Creating an Economy For Life

The Climate Justice Alliance seeks to address the root causes of climate disruption and eco-social devastation through creative solutions that both address the failure of the economy to care for people and planet and build a new kind of power rooted in deep democracy, cooperation, and clean energy. Led by front-line communities from Black Mesa, Arizona to Richmond, California, from Chile to the Arctic, this movement is leading Just Transition strategies and scaling up to radically transform the global economy. With: Miya Yoshitani, Executive Director, Asian Pacific Environmental Network; Angela Adrar, Executive Director, Our Power Campaign and the Climate Justice Alliance; Jihan Gearon, Black Mesa Water Coalition; Antonio Diaz, PODER, San Francisco.
