We will not remedy the ecological crisis through techno-fixes, green colonialism or green capitalism, and we will not achieve Palestinian Liberation, Jewish Liberation, or collective liberation, through further militarization and occupation. Speakers will share their vision of a Free Palestine beyond occupation and discuss how real solutions such as decolonization, food sovereignty, and abolition offer frameworks for envisioning a way forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-gDB-tPKSfCNe-jUtdMnuw#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-gDB-tPKSfCNe-jUtdMnuw#/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:#0070C0'>The Risks of Over-Reliance on Gas Power Plants<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Fri.
