About this Event

What is fossil fuel fascism - and what can we do about it?

Climate denial, extractivism, and violent power; how do we stop those who "drill, baby, drill" in the midst of a climate crisis.

Join us for an inspiring discussion with Zoe Gardner, Max Haiven, and more TBC to unite in active hope for a fairer, more resilient future.
