The It Takes Roots Alliance held an informational webinar on Wednesday, June 20th to discuss the September 8-14, 2018 #ItTakesRoots Solidarity to Solutions Week in San Francisco this fall!
Watch the recording of the webinar here:
The Climate Justice Alliance, Grassroots Global Justice, Indigenous Environmental Network and Right to the City have joined forces in the It Takes Roots Alliance to focus our collective efforts on building a visionary opposition to the most critical problems facing frontline communities in the era of Trumpism.
Toward that end, we felt it important to organize a parallel week of action to the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS) currently being organized by California Governor Jerry Brown. We want our actions and events to serve as a counterpoint to the GCAS, where market-based solutions will be lifted up as the ONLY solutions to climate change, which we know will only devastate our communities even more.
Presenters included:
- Angela Adrar, Climate Justice Alliance
- Pennie Opal Plant, Idle No More SF Bay
- Tom Goldtooth, Indigenous Environmental Network
- Teresa Almaguer, PODER
- Right to the City (speaker to be confirmed)
- Nnimmo Bassey, Health of Mother Earth Foundation
