In this third episode of Solarpunking, we ask: what is true justice, and how do you attain it?
Drawing from the solarpunk ideology, we explore the power of community-driven change, reimagining our relationship with the land, and practical visions for a just, ecologically sound future.
We also listen to a powerful excepts from answer from BeautifulTrouble.org, Kwame Ture, and Kimberly Latrice Jones as they explain different concepts of justice in America.
Whether you’re new to solarpunk or already sowing seeds of change, this episode is an invitation to dream boldly and act with intention.
