“Please come visit us for our monthly virtual Climate Change Forum from OMNI Center, Sunday, December 6 at 1:30. We’ll meet virtually with a Go To Meeting link that will come later. But we want you to know the topics so you can read ahead and participate. Our thoughts for the December Forum will primarily be the Green New Deal and what we can do individually and as a community on a hopefully more positive political stage.
Dick Bennett will present on the Green New Deal, specifically Jane Fonda’s activist account in What Can I do? Dick has also encouraged reading other GND books: Naomi Klein’s On Fire: The (Burning Case of the Green New Deal, Jeremy Rifkin’s The Green New Deal, Aranoff et.al. A Planet to Win, Why We Need a Green New Deal, and Chomsky and Pollin’s Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal, The Political Economy of Saving the Planet.
There are two other items we want to touch on. If there is time, Lolly will present a quick summary of Christiana Figueres’, The Future We Choose. She was the UN’s past head of the IPCC and gives a very positive wish list to address climate change.
And then our final activity for the Forum will be to discuss what we can do actively and positively: make lists of specific topics, write letters, decide to whom to send, and who will do the writing. This will take precedence over The Future We Choose.
Please come with ideas we can activate. Here’s the meeting link:
