It’s time for a change. How do we overcome these practices that seem insurmountable? How do we juggle all of these solutions when there are so many (and not all of them seem real)? The Just Transition framework from the Climate Justice Alliance offers a path forward—practices and principles for sustainable living without exploitation. Are you ready to join in liberating our soil and souls\, decolonizing our imaginations\, and embracing a new way forward? Let’s unite to stop the harmful\, build the new\, and change the rules. Transition is inevitable; justice requires our intentional efforts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis spring Soulardarity will host its first community-driven Just Transition Workshop on MAY 25\, 2024. We are inviting Detroit\, Hamtramck and Highland Park Residents interested in finding out how to actually own the tools and framework to dissolve and overcome these extractive practices and find real solutions that are local\, ecological\, and honoring of all people. This workshop is FREE to attend. Time & Location of the workshop will be shared with those that register using this PRE-REGISTRATION form. Space is limited\, so please don’t wait to reserve your seat. Your safety is our safety and none of your information will be shared outside of organizational use.\n\n\n\nThe first 30 people to sign up & attend will receive a $40 gift card! \n\n\n\n\nRSVP HERE!\n\n\n\n\nSHARE the flyer below on social media or with friends and family! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?
