Episode 36 - Turn Towards Each Other: A Collective Climate Justice Movement
Collective action can lead to real, tangible victories, like halting an offshore oil project proposed by Big Oil, reminding us that collectives of people have the power to challenge destructive and powerful forces. Instead of individualistic, lonely, consumerism-heavy environmentalism of the past, the collective climate justice movement encourages us to turn towards each other.
Guest Tori Tsui is a Bristol-based climate justice activist, organiser, writer and speaker from Hong Kong. You might have seen her on the cover of Vogue, on international panels, or in Instagram posts with inspiring activist friends like Mya-Rose Craig, Greta Thunberg, Daphne Frias, and Dominique Palmer. Tori’s recent debut book, It’s Not Just You, explores climate change and mental health from a climate justice perspective.
This conversation provides wise reflections on successful movement building and sustaining, and shows how recent wins have been accomplished by collective-minded organizing that is required for these dark times.
Episode 25 - Rejecting Fossil Fuel Narratives, Rewriting Climate Futures
Fossil fuel narratives seep into our culture, media, politics, and minds, and it can be hard to extricate them from our lives. Fortunately, we can create our own hopeful narratives of possible climate futures that run like fast-moving rivers from person to person.
Grace Nosek is a climate justice scholar, community organizer, and storyteller. Grace has spent years studying and deconstructing the narratives and tactics of the fossil fuel industry - as well as creating her own hopeful climate narratives.
We can find the veins and rivulets of care that already exist in the growing climate movement, and together rewrite the future.
