So well said

LOVE THIS BOOK

please suggest readings and study we can do to built our understanding of these concepts.

haha, love the lorax but that's not quite what I'd meant!

I have to jump on another meeting. Please share recording of this.

Great version of The Lorax: https://youtu.be/tgMsmyenj6k

It’s amazing

can you share a recording of this?

Places to intervene in a system, Donella Meadows, 1999

Yes, we can send the recording out tomorrow to folks who registered.

oh good. so much good being covered. I’m loving this.

excellent stuff,,, much of which I already know as our org... Poor Peoples Economic Human rights campaign is a Frontline line org run in a bottom up solidarity based org... www.economichumanrights.org

localized and community driven...

the last poor people's campaign meeting I attended ended with prayers. If that's your thing, that's fine, but if I'm being invited to something that's going to require me to join in community prayer or be the asshole that walked out, I'll be the asshole, and I'll not be going back in. That's just not my thing.

thanks for the link, Bruce

sad to say, the website is down

we are not the Poor Peoples campaign... we predate that top down big foundation funded movt... we have been around 25 years and grew out of the Homeless Unions and Welfare rights movt... we are influenced by the Landless Peasant movt, Black Panthers, Young Lords and Landless Peasant movt.... website will be up again soon being revamped

Thank you !

What was the community solar organization mentioned?

Hello --Cornelia Flora from Ames. IA she/her

love that sharing and info given by Gopal... was excellent

thanks Phil. good to see you.

I'm on the east coast and need to leave now. Thanks though, and I'll see you next time!

Let’s do the small groups next week

Can we do questions in the chat?

yes

You rock. Thank you.

@ Belvin: People solar Energy fund

I have to leave. This was deep wisdom, magnificent. Looking forward to next week. Thanks so very much to Rebecca and Gopal

Great call, Gopal. Looking forward to more.

Yes, thank you so much!

We have some time left for questions, if folks want to share questions in the chat!

It’s a lot to take in— still processing

So much to absorb. so glad youll be providing recording.

I have a question! Hold on...

Particularly interested the question of transition….what are the phases of getting from here to there?

So when it comes to effectively doing policy work in our conflict oriented structures, what are best practices for centering rights?

love the Revolutionary approach and bottom up... How can we trust the 2 parties that are counter to this?

how does the “just doing” aspect and not focusing on regulation play into the goals of climate emergency resolutions?

I, too, must leave. It was wonderful, and I need to reflect on it all.

Because it is about total life, why call it climate mobilization?

do you have any recommendations of things to read to further understand and explore these concepts?

rights of nature & climate emergency?

I get that the GND is a policy but with the same power, etc. - so should folks stop talking about the GND and just work now on the more fundamental changes you discussed?

How do you deal with the rights issue in terms of saying someone doesn’t have a right to harm you, considering the way you explained rights

Capitalism is counter to this, wouldn't you agree ... what about Green Capitalism?

brilliant

Do you have a shared repository of rights based ordinances? Laws? Policies?

Existing power holders: Can you speak about the efforts of Al Gore and cronies to Capitalize the Green Movement and how do we resist that?

As a youth I often come across young folks who tell me that ideas of ecology and economy are beyond us, and that even though they acknowledge the adults have failed, there isn't anything we can do because these issues are beyond our capacity. So, how would you explain to them that these ideas are actionable? I guess my question is how do we communicate to those who have given up on the idea of a regenerative economy the need to persist?

Are you familiar with a Resource based economy as described in Zeitgeist 2009. Resource based economy similar to the story of the Lorax in that all resources needed to sustain a biosphere, quotas are set according to the rights of living systems.

Thank you so much Gopal! I’m interested if you could go a bit more into how much we can learn from historic regenerative social systems that manage the commons sustainably, and how much we need to work to invent in this globalized and complex world of ours!

that’s some radically strategic shit right there.

Phil love you point about Green Capitalism

Wonderful presentation and wonderful questions too! Thanks, everyone!

Particularly interested the question of transition….what are the phases of getting from here to there?

we are fighting for a Bill of Rights for a producing aquifer, 75 springs along 75 miles of river

Thank you. See you next week.

Gopal, you’re laying down so many quotables! It’s hard to hold on to all. I will be making art based on many.

AHHHH

thoughts about new Michael Moore film?

This was truly incredible

You can export chat!

I wanted to verify Michael Moore's movie,, but most of the points seemed to be obvious on the face of it. Very disturbing!

Thank you so much for being here and gifting us all this knowledge!!

Happy evening all

I agree that the openness is there, the issue I have found is that among young folks at least here that while the ideas are present, the engagement is not. So what you said has actually been really helpful, so thank you!

Thank you! Good evening all!

excellent workshop

so great!!! thank you

Can’t wait for next week!

Amazing webinar! I hope you’ve written a book we can find...

THANK YOU! THIS WAS INSPIRIING!
