Earth Week 2021 Keynote with Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson & Dr. Mia Charlene White Join the Tishman Center for the Earth Week keynote conversation between Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Founder of Urban Ocean Lab and Co-Founder of the All We Can Save Project, and Dr. Mia White, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies in the Environmental Studies Program at the Schools of Public Engagement. This thought-provoking conversation will focus on their work developing creative ways to build community and solidarity, and ways to continue moving towards a world that values climate and environmental justice. “The World We Need” Book Launch “The World We Need: Stories and Lessons from America’s Unsung Environmental Movement” provides a vivid introduction to America’s largely unsung grassroots environmental groups, which are often led by activists of color and the working class. Collecting interviews, journalistic reports, first-person essays, and artwork, editor Audrea Lim touches on a wide range of topics, including the Keystone XL pipeline, drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and poor sanitation in rural communities, showcasing the racial, socioeconomic, and cultural diversity of the modern-day environmental movement. Nourishing Communities of Life: Indigenous Resurgence beyond Syndemic Violence & Earth Crisis This panel gathers voices from diverse key projects from across the Americas that embody real solutions based on decolonizing communal alternatives. Such projects provide real, decolonizing solutions to intersecting crises of health, environment/climate, food and systemic violence, including state and corporate violence. These projects (re)constitute “territories of life” rooted in land-based communal self-determination and based on the revitalization of Indigenous knowledge for Indigenous governance. Moderated by:
