Just Transition Workshop
2025-05-31 09:30 - 15:00
It’s no secret – the world we live in is extractive. It prioritizes profit over people, obliterates resources, degrades the Earth, and is completely unsustainable. But what are we supposed to do about it? Combating it can seem overwhelming and daunting. That’s why Soulardarity is putting on the Just Transition Workshop – a practical framework from moving from the extractive economy we live in towards the regenerative one we want!

Join us on May 31st at REVIVAL TABERNACLE (16455 Woodward Ave, Highland Park) where meals will be provided as we figure out how to move from one to the other…together! Bring a friend because…the first 30 people that RSVP and attend will get a $40 gift card!!

NOTE: please park in the Florence Street Lot (NOTE the main lot that has the health trailer) and enter the main sanctuary building doors that face Woodward Ave. Thanks!
