David Cobb is an activist, organizer, and people's lawyer and co-host of the podcast Redneck Gone Green be sure to follow RedNeckGoneGreen.Substack.com
As we confront interlocking crises—environmental degradation, deepening inequality, resource extraction from the Global South, rising fascism, war, genocide, and U.S.-led corporate imperialism—urgent, transformative responses are needed.
The continued dominance of the two-party capitalist system further emphasizes the need to strengthen our independent movements for systemic change. This gathering is a vital opportunity to deepen our networks, sharpen our strategies, and amplify collective power toward the post-capitalist futures that people and the planet urgently need. The Resist and Build process bridges the gap between resistance movements and initiatives to build a transformed system, recognizing that resistance without a clear vision risks mere reform, while building alternatives without roots in resistance risks exclusion and co-optation.
