Climate
Catastrophe
and
Capitalism *
We
live
in
a
time
of
planetary
emergency.
Ours
is
the
era
of
rising
waters
and
super
storms,
of
refinery
fires
and
foreclosed
futures.
It
is
the
age
of
mass
incarceration
&
mass
deportation,
of
mass
unemployment
&
mass
extinction.
*
Learn
about
the
Just
Transition
Framework
[[link removed]]
,
and
the
pivotal
role
we
can
all
play
in
bringing
forth
local,
living,
loving,
linked
economies,
as
we
are
simultaneously
dismantling
the
banks
&
tanks
economy.

1:00-2:30 Workshops
*
Land
Returns
and
Indigenous
Sovereignty *
In
this
workshop,
we'll
learn
about
the
work
of
the
NDN
Collective
to
return
native
lands
to
native
hands
and
explore
the
role
young
people
with
wealth
can
play
in
actualizing
land
returns
at
the
individual
and
systemic
levels.
Most
philanthropic
institutions
were
not
built
to
support
indigenous
sovereignty;
in
fact
many
of
them
serve
to
keep
indigenous
lands
in
the
hands
of
settlers.
We'll
engage
questions
about
how
we
relate
to
institutions
of
philanthropy
and
how
we
can
shift
towards
returning
stolen
land,
wealth
and
power.

Transformative
Investing
as
a
Tool
for
Building
Solidarity
Economies *
Earlier
this
year,
RG
launched
the
Transformative
Investment
Principles
(TIPs)
[[link removed]]
to
guide
our
members
in
divesting
from
Wall
Street
and
reinvesting
funds,
resources,
and
energy
into
building
solidarity
economies
[[link removed]]
.
The
TIPs
offer
a
vision
for
young
people
with
wealth
supporting
community
wealth
building,
shared
ownership,
and
the
self-determination
of
BIPOC
and
poor
&
working
class
communities.
Join
this
session
to
learn
what
it
looks
like
for
RGers
to
turn
these
principles
into
action
through
specific
examples
and
frameworks.
No
familiarity
with
investing
or
solidarity
economies
concepts
will
be
assumed
or
expected.
