The Threat of Geoengineering and the Socialist Response

Friday September 4, 2026 2:30pm - 4:00pm CDT

Dusable ABC

As the climate crisis intensifies, capital is turning to geoengineering, technologies capable of directed perturbation of Earth systems. Here, we’ll explain what geoengineering is and why socialists should be opposed to its development. We will also discuss large-scale visions of ecosocialist transformation that challenge the urgency of intentional climate modification.

Political Education 1: What Are We Up Against?

Friday September 4, 2026 4:30pm - 6:00pm CDT

Dusable ABC

Political education begins from reality: we need to first understand the world in order to change it. This workshop provides a basic grounding in principles of participatory education, the dynamic relationship between our ideas and material reality, and an understanding of Gramsci’s concept of hegemony before inviting participants to collectively map the interlocking repressive and carceral structures we confront every day.
