The seminar is an official session of the Master in Politica Ecology, Degrowth and Environmental Justice. It will take place in ICTA-UAB (Sala Montseny).

Mariana Rodrigues, co-author of the “All In: a Revolutionary Theory to Stop Climate Collapse” and militant in the climate justice Portugal-based collective Climáximo, will come to present this recently-launched book on organization and strategy at international movement level. The book presents a radical invitation for a new movement-level framework of organizing in the face of the spiralling climate and environmental crisis. The proposal is politically grounded in the inseparability of climate and class struggle: the climate crisis gives us a deadline to dismantle capitalism and to do one of the biggest transformations in History in order to stop climate collapse. In practice, this book is meant as a conversation-opener and a tool for ruptural movement bulding. It is based on decades of experience organising and proposes much-needed debates on class, urgency, internationalism, and responsibility.

Mariana Rodrigues is a Gen Z born in Portugal. She is an organiser and a trainer for social movements, with experience in international networks, with a strong taste for team building and for revolutionary intersectional approaches. She is optimistic and frustrated with the state of the world, a master in improvisation, and much more of a doer than a writer.

Mariana joined the student movement as an organiser and leader while in college and has been active in social struggles since 2017. Starting by getting involved in Amnesty International at national and international levels as well as in non-formal education organisations and campaigns, she gradually got drawn into grassroots organisations, including the LGBTI movement, the fight against international free trade agreements and environmentalism. In 2019, she got involved in Extinction Rebellion and later in Climáximo, where she continues her militancy.

Since 2019, Mariana organised dozens of direct actions and mass actions at national and international levels, facilitated and led coordination spaces for the climate justice movement at European and global levels – By 2020 We Rise Up, the Glasgow Agreement and the Earth Social Conference – and led the campaign against fossil gas in Portugal. She is a trainer and organiser, with experience in a variety of areas such as communication, outreach, finance, action and well-being.
