I spent the last weekend in Dripping Springs Texas at the 9th Radical Encuentro Camp (REC). It was a meeting of about 200 activists around the state to share skills and ideas. The theme this year was “climate justice.” We saw panels of amazing women fighting coal companies from native reservations in the Four Corners, […]

The weakness of the environmental movement today – that is, our inability to deliver meaningful reforms that might make a real difference on issues like climate change – is plain to see.
