Okoljski aktivisti ter člani in podporniki naprednih družbenih gibanj, organizacij in iniciativ se vse bolj zavedamo dveh ključnih dejstev. Prvič, da je kapitalistični sistem temeljni vzrok za podnebno krizo in da znotraj tega na profitnem motivu in brezmejni rasti utemeljenega sistema ni nikakršne možnosti, da bi to krizo razrešili. In drugič, da nenadzorovano segrevanje predstavlja preživetveno grožnjo. Z drugimi besedami: zavedamo se urgentnosti trenutne situacije.
Zato potrebujemo okvir delovanja, ki bo politično pošten, analitično natančen, vsebinsko konkreten in bo odgovarjal na dejanske potrebe ljudi. Ta okvir mora družbo potisniti v največjo preobrazbo v zgodovini človeštva.
To je izhodiščni problem nove knjige All In: A Revolutionary Theory to Stop Climate Collapse, dveh organizatorjev družbenih gibanj, Mariane Rodrigues in Sinana Edna. Na podlagi lastnih izkušenj z mobilizacijo in mednarodnim delom avtorjev ter z oporo na zgodovinsko teorijo in prakso družbenih gibanj, All In razvija teorijo spremembe, ki zmore nasloviti obe zgoraj omenjeni dejstvi. Avtorja hkrati vzpostavita organizacijski model, ki lahko to teorijo spremembe tudi uresniči. Knjiga torej predstavlja praktično orodje za vse, ki si prizadevamo za temeljne družbene spremembe za dobro življenje vseh znotraj omejitev planeta.
Na srečanju s soavtorjem Sinanom Ednom se bomo poglobili v razmišljanja in strateške razprave o podnebnem gibanju, med drugim: Zakaj počnemo to, kar počnemo? Zakaj mislimo, da bo naše delo prispevalo k družbeni spremembi? In kako smo lahko dovolj samokritični, da bomo pri gradnji gibanja uspešni?

Talk in Ljubljana: How to Organize to Prevent Climate Breakdown
A talk with climate activist Sinan Eden, co-author of the book All In: A Revolutionary Theory to Stop Climate Collapse

Everyone – progressive social movement organizers and participants – is increasingly aware of two key facts. Firstly, the capitalist system is the root cause of the climate crisis and has absolutely no perspective of solving it. The logical consequence is that the task of the progressive movements is to dismantle capitalism. Secondly, we’re facing the threat of runaway warming cascading into climate chaos. In other words: urgency.
For that reason, we need a framework that is politically honest, analytically rigorous, and emotionally connected. This framework must push society into the biggest transformation ever occurred in history.
This is the central question of the recent book “All In” by movement organizers, Mariana Rodrigues and Sinan Eden. Parting from the actual mobilization experience and international work of the co-authors and informed by the long historical theory and praxis of social movements, All In builds a theory of change that can hold both of these sets of information, together with the organizational model to deliver that theory of change, to address today’s task.
In this participatory session with one of the co-authors Sinan Eden, we will dive into some movement-level thinking and strategy debates, with the basic initial questions: Why do we do what we do? Why do we think that our political work will contribute to societal change? And how can we be self-critical about our work for successful movement building?
