The climate crisis is driven by deep histories of colonialism, global capitalism, international trade, geopolitics and imperialism. All of these forces come together to create the political deadlock that we find ourselves in today. This crisis, however, also has a deep history of organized struggle, which began in the Global South where communities have been pushing back against the root causes of this crisis for decades. We need to understand this history and the current global big picture in order to truly understand "Climate Justice". With this international perspective in mind, we can do our local and regional work more effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZErcO6trD0sHNxfqoOvbl8oQjOavWTKaVnE#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZErcO6trD0sHNxfqoOvbl8oQjOavWTKaVnE#/registration</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B0F0'>Nuclear Energy and the Bomb<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Thur.
