Tamaya 2022 Opening Remarks

As the climate crisis accelerates, so do threats to democracy — especially for Black, Indigenous, and people of color. From “sacrifice zones” to voter suppression, the same systems that destabilize the planet also disenfranchise its people. This webinar will dive into the ways in which climate justice and efforts to protect democracy are inextricably linked.

DOCN is excited to partner with Grassroots Asians Rising (GAR) for a virtual brunch and coffee date to learn more about opportunities for cross-class and cross-racial solidarity at this pivotal moment. Join us for an inspiring conversation about the bold actions individual donors can take to fuel solidarity and fortify the grassroots movements that are protecting our democracy.

Our partners at the East Bay Meditation Center (EBMC) hosted an intergenerational conversation among three of our most important contemporary visionary thinkers. Angela Davis, Lama Rod and Prentis Hemphill reflected on our current political moment and why a response grounded in a radical vision for the future and a commitment to collective liberation is more critical than ever.
