Just Transition Primer

The Good Work Institute exists to build and amplify the collective power of people to reject systems of oppression and extraction and create regenerative, just, and life-affirming communities

Good Work Institute

Let’s come together online to align understanding and action in support of effective, collective responses to the moment we are living in.

Check your email for the Zoom link that will enable your online participation. We look forward to learning from and with you!

We’ve been navigating the strain and uncertainty of a global pandemic for over a year and a half. We’ve had stark and upsetting reminders of the necessity of overcoming racial injustice. Our entrenched political divides are laced with conflict. How do we make sense of these realities? Where can we glimpse the kind of possibility worth coming together to work for? This workshop provides an opportunity to connect, explore a shared vision of Just Transition, and consider the question: What will it take to build systems centered on care for each other and our shared home? What would it mean for many of us in the Mahicantuck (Hudson) Valley to be focused on social and ecological well-being? Join us online, in community, to deepen your understanding of the Just Transition framework, principles and practices. Through video, reflection, story sharing, and small group discussion, you will: <ul><li>See people from across the country describing aspects of Just Transition</li><li>Hear how other participants respond to the framework </li><li>Connect your own experience to extractive and regenerative economic paradigms</li><li>Gain a sense of the framework, principles and practices, and where they come from</li><li>Discuss ways you are drawn toward weaving one or more Just Transition principles and practices into your Good Work</li></ul>FACILITATORSThis offering will be co-facilitated by a combination of these GWI Workers, whose fuller bios are available <a href="https://goodworkinstitute.org/about-the-good-work-institute/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
