Feedback Survey
This opening plenary panel will explore what it means for our movements to “win.” Grounding us in a framework of decolonization, community selfdetermination and sovereignty, we will dive deep into why we do this work. Each of the panelists will share their perspective on what is unique about this moment in history — from the political and economic level, to the cultural and ecological. The panel will leave the audience with some guiding questions and big ideas as we embark on the next two days of the conference together.
