Details
To avert the worst impacts of climate change, a transition away from fossil fuels is necessary. However, what this transition looks like and what would make a transition “just,” remain open questions. What workers are missing from “green” economy discussions? What role do workers play in the fight for a future without fossil fuels? How can workers and communities ensure the transition is “just”?
Join the Center for Labor and Community for a conversation with Dr. J. Mijin Cha (author of A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon-Free Future, MIT Press) and Saket Soni (author of The Great Escape: A True Story of Forced Labor and Immigrant Dreams in America, Algonquin Books), moderated by Labor Notes’ Labor-Climate Organizer, Keith Brower-Brown, for a timely discussion of these questions and more.This event will bring together academics, labor organizers, and workers from across the region to think together about how to move beyond a fuel-based economy. A reception with light refreshments and book signing will be held after the discussion.
