Student Climate Justice Book Discussion

To anyone interested in learning more about Indigenous liberation, environmental justice, and economic justice, please join us this summer for a reading discussion group on the new book The Red Deal: Indigenous Action to Save Our Earth by The Red Nation. We’ll be meeting on Zoom to discuss the book once per week, on a day that will be determined by a poll of the participants in the group.

The weekly readings will be kept short to allow for maximum discussion time, and the group will begin meeting shortly after the end of Spring quarter .“The Red Deal asserts that the fight for climate justice must center Native people when it comes to the issues that disproportionately impact Native communities, but it also communicates what the Green New Deal does not — namely, that public lands are stolen lands and climate change is significantly caused by just a few industries, which the government has at worst neglected to hold accountable and at best assisted in their efforts to mine the earth for resources in a move that put profits over people.” —Teen Vogue

Anyone is welcome to join the group – students, faculty, staff, community members, etc.

If you’re interested, please email economics instructor Ty Saxon at tymatsaxon@gmail.com.
