Domenico D’Alessandro presents Building a Communal Loom to “Weave the We”

How do we weave the WE as in all life forms, referencing Naomi Klein’s phrasing, the LEAP Manifesto, and Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer.

His talk will be on what we learn from past experiences, including defeats to arrive at needed strategies to defend our natural environment. What tactics are available to us to impact our social context and bridge existing gaps.

When our political leaders and institutions that protect the environment fail, they create an existential crisis, threatening ecological integrity, cultural heritage, and environmental stewardship. Addressing this crisis requires concerted advocacy, public awareness, and sustainable practices. What lessons can we infer from past experiences to improve tactics for defending our common environmental and cultural inheritance?
