This event was one of many occurring around the U.S. simultaneously, and brought together scholars, community leaders, authors, artists, and activists to have a series of conversations about how to transform our existing political, economic, and educational systems into a force for democracy, ecological sustainability, and social justice.

Event sponsors included: Global Environmental Justice Project, UCSB’s Environmental Studies Program, UCSB’s Department of Sociology, UCSB’s Environmental Affairs Board, the Student Commission on Racial Equality, Fossil Free UCSB, and 350 Santa Barbara.
