I was recently invited to present my thoughts on the role of universities in the #climate crisis
Several audience members asked that I share my slides, so I've decided to post them here too as an open resource
I'd love any feedback, & for you to share examples of projects & best practice.
Long 🧵😊

What happens *after* you win a four year fight to pass historic ecosocialist legislation? You start an even bigger fight to make sure your state does it right, and start new fights nationwide too.
