I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Who should pick up the tab for the billions of dollars in damages from these deadly fires in LA? The fossil fuel industry who lied about climate change for decades, that's who.
