We are facing a convergence of global crises that are only being exacerbated by climate change. The threat it poses to frontline and fenceline communities and all life on Earth is the foremost challenge of our time. Mainstream solutions, education, and media fail to acknowledge the root causes of the climate crisis (white supremacy/anti-blackness, settler colonialism, heteropatriarchy, extractive capitalism) replicating the same systems of oppression fueling climate change.

Dia de Sol (Diasporas Decolonizing in Solidarity) presents a zoom panel for Earth week, "Healing Tongues: Revitalizing Oral Traditions & The Struggle for Climate Justice," on April 23, 2021, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. EST. The panel will be featuring Lily Mendoza from the Center for Babaylan Studies (CFBS), Nazka Serrano, a Kichwa Warmi community organizer and story keeper, Mare Advertencia Lirika, a Zapotec rapper, feminist, and migrant from Oaxaca, Mexico, and Naawéiyaa Austin Tagaba, a basket weaver, screen printer, musician, language learner and teacher from Native Movement Alaska.

Is higher education preparing students for the world that we are living in and the one that is to come? Join in on this discussion between educators about knowledge, curriculum, pedagogy and who gets to shape those concepts. This event hopes to spark a discussion around how to frame the climate crisis in education, systemic change and community production of knowledge. The panel will be moderated by 2020 Aronson Fellow Daniela Lam and feature faculty from Parsons and Milano representing different fields of study.

We believe that spirituality and faith are the foundation of sustainability and a stepping stone as we reclaim liberation. And yet, they are consistently left out of general sustainability conversation. Join us for a panel discussion on “WTF is Going on with Spirituality?” with some incredible community members and leaders from the Faithfully Sustainable and Sustainable Brooklyn communities, as we reclaim and recenter BIPOC sustainability across various faiths and spiritualities from Islam, Buddhism, and Sikhi to Indigenous ancestral spiritual pathways! The conversation will cover topics from activism to agriculture to fashion to wellness and more as they relate to panelists’ experiences and worldviews

Asian communities are experiencing increased violence that reflects an ingrained anti-Asian discrimination sentiment within our communities. Join BIPOC EARTH in a discussion about BIPOC solidarity and accompliceship. As these violent attacks increase, how do we protect and stand up for each other, how do we educate ourselves on the evolving history of anti-Asian discrimination, and how can we mobilize resources to support Asian communities in times of crisis?

Join us for a moderated panel discussion with Indigenous movement leaders from North America, Peru, and India.

BIPOC EARTH will be hosting An Election Day Debriefing Friday, November 13th from 5:30-8:30pm. The purpose for this space is for members to come together to process the results and any accompanying feelings, thoughts or emotional outburst. This event will be super low key, and members are free to drop in and out of the session, during the duration of the meeting time.

The climate crisis and environmental degradation to our ecosystems will have serious implications on the wellbeing of society. However, the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality will make certain communities more vulnerable. From the ways, redlining puts Black and Brown communities at higher risk during heatwaves, to the disproportionate mass incarceration and detention of Black and Latinx queer bodies, and the high rates of queer youth homelessness, we must affirm that any solutions to these problems must center Black and Queer Liberation.

Lets build on our understanding and act together as a student body to influence critical institutional changes at The New School. Here's how we do:

1. Thinking local to global perspectives we welcome guest speakers from WEACT, Americorps and Peace Corps, to share and discuss their experience in building climate resilience in their communities. Speakers present from 6-6:45, last 15 minutes open for Q&A.

2. Assessing where we are now as The New School community; We welcome the student senate, and active student group representatives as we take a quick dive into their efforts and obstacles in building climate resilience within TNS community. Presentations: 7-7:30

3. Acting locally, we hand the mic and pen to the students in attendance to create a list of educated recommendations: How should TNS prepare for this climate crisis? (working on this Q) All recommendations will be presented by the student senate in a Memorandum of Understanding and from there to be presented to TNS.
