The EL Room
Generation Green's EL Room will introduce and expound upon our EL ideological framework with the Afrikan masses. Throughout the sequence of classes, we will explore: Generation Green's EL manifesto; Black environmentalism; the implications of global racial capitalism, climate change, and colonialism on the Afrikan Diaspora; and more. The sessions will be interactive with live exercises and supplemental materials. This is a community learning space that will not tolerate ageism, gatekeeping, disrespect, or any other ivory tower attributes.
Session 2 | Proximity, Land, & Place
The way we experience our environment is dependent on three significant factors - land, proximity, and place. Due to environmental racism and generational trauma, many of us have lost our connections to land. In our discussion we will delve into Afro-Indigeneity, Black environmentalism, and our relationship with land today.
