Radical Environment of Peoples - Catastrophe and Popular Struggle
by Erahsto Felício and Neto Onire Sankara
Watch the conversation with Neto Onire and Erahsto Felício, Alameda affiliated researchers, on the urgency of radical environmentalism and popular mobilisation as ways to confront the climate and social catastrophe.
In the video, Neto and Erasto talk about the role of territorial resistance, highlighting that true radical environmentalism goes beyond planting trees or recycling: it questions who controls the land and demands the collectivisation of resources and life.
‘There is no salvation outside the fight for territory. Transformation is only possible by building communities that confront the logic of the commodification of life and promote an organisation based on autonomy and solidarity.’
Video available with English subtitles.
