Hope in Hopeless Times

Hope in Hopeless Times. Is it possible to have any hope as the extreme right spreads and the center stands back and lets them do it, as the official climate framework only makes the ecological climate crisis worse, as the institutional left dedicates itself to obscuring any of the empowering lessons we’ve learned over the last decade, and as our own movements repeat the same errors made by the struggles of earlier generations? Peter Gelderloos will share some stories and some analysis from his two latest books, “They Will Beat the Memory Out of Us,” and “Organization, Continuity, Community.”
