GROW Climate Justice is for people passionately committed to addressing climate change and building justice and peace in all our relations. The workshop will focus on education and spiritual grounding for long-haul activism and community organizing with a values framework of collective liberation and decolonization. Climate justice movement history and foundations, strategies, tactics, and visions for a just transition to an equitable, resilient, and life-giving society will all be covered, as well as how to work toward climate justice using an intersectional lens.
