We hope you are safe, secure, happy and healthy during these challenging times. The ecological collapse is quickening, the inherent contradictions of capitalism are intensifying, and explicit fascism as a political force is growing in the US and across the planet. To update and paraphrase Rosa Luxemburg-- Capitalist civilization cannot continue. We must either move forward into ecosocialism or descend into fascism.
It is with that clarity that we are pleased to share that Transition US is co-sponsoring an important online discussion titled “Eco-Socialism in Practice.” This free online webinar will be offered Aug 13 from 12-1:30pm pacific, 3-4:30pm eastern.
Frequent Transition US David Cobb will moderate a conversation between Mel Figueroa about Chico TEK, Kamau Franklin about Community Movement Builders, and Michelle Edelman-McCormick about Cooperation VT. The event is free, but advance registration is required.

The newest episode of the ReGeneration Nation Podcast is out!
In this second episode, join Jess and Elvia as they interview Ruben Elias Canedo, director of strategic equity initiatives at the University of California, Berkeley. Ruben shares their experiences growing up with a disability, their advice for youths organizing for a better world, and how they reimage the UC system and higher education's responsibility in building a care infrastructure across California.
More about Ruben: "Growing up in a mixed status and binational family with a disabled body introduced me at an early age to harm, trauma, injustice, and oppression. Most importantly, it taught me how brilliant, resilient, loving, and transformative our family and community relationships are. I survived and am here today because of family and community. Growing up, everyone would take care of each other to make sure folx had food, shelter, and community. I believe in a world that will learn and heal beyond its current white supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy, and ableism. The way I can contribute to that direction is through our basic needs efforts. I'm humbled and privileged to share this community journey of belonging and justice."
We hope that you enjoy this episode and share it with your friends and family!
You can find this episode on Youtube and Spotify!
