Join Power Lines editors Jeff Ordower and Lindsay Zafir as they discuss the intertwined nature of climate and labor movement with Wynnie-Fred Victor Hinds (Weequahic Park Association) and Sara Cullinane (Make the Road NJ).

 

After their organizations dedicated years of struggle against retail behemoth Amazon, Victor Hinds and Cullinane collaborated to contribute Ch. 10, “Good Jobs, Clean Air: How Community, Environmental Justice, and Labor Groups Stopped Amazon’s Air Hub in New Jersey.”

 

Power Lines: Building A Labor–Climate Justice Movement goes beyond a class politics analysis of climate change or the imperative of federal climate legislation, making the case for the urgency of a robust labor–climate justice movement. It also shows us how we can build momentum by sharing some of the most creative organizing happening on the ground right now. Readers learn about planting seeds for the future from Winona La Duke and Ashley Fairbanks; about achieving a Just Transition from José Bravo; about listening to the land from frontline farmworker organizations; about how young people can bridge the climate–labor gap, and more.

 

This event will also be streamed live on The People Forum’s YouTube page.
