            NORMAN SOLOMON

        Non-Stop War and 2024: A Teach-in for Media Activism
 
Teach-ins are launching this spring under the heading “Make War Visible… and End It,” as RootsAction national director Norman Solomon teams up with activists from antiwar and social-justice groups cosponsoring the free online events. With a focus on how activists can better navigate media to get their message out to the public, the workshops will draw on information and analysis in Norman’s recent book War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.

                    AVIVA CHOMSKY
     Is Science Enough? Forty Critical Questions About Climate Justice
 
Aviva Chomsky examines the big picture in dealing with the challenges of the climate crisis. She asks the questions that the greenwashers ignore and calls out the techno-optimists who believe that our basic economic model, through technological progress alone, can solve the climate problems. She will discuss just transition, degrowth, and solutions beyond capitalism. She is a professor of history and Latin American studies at Salem State University in Massachusetts. Her powerful book, Is Science Enough?, deals with the important questions and solutions of how we get to a sustainable, climate justice future from where we are today. Chomsky presents a refreshingly realistic scenario of what needs to happen in the next couple of decades.

                            OFER ZUR, Ph.D 
       Civil Dialogue About the Uncivil Middle East: Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank
 
"Competing historical claims of who was first, Moses or Allah, or who owns what, Muslims or Jews, or who is holier, should NOT be part of the current ceasefire negotiations, says Zur. Knowing the region and the complexity of its people, Zur proposes a solution for the situation. He maintains that the challenge for both Israelis and Palestinians is  how to live or forge a ceasefire with an enemy that wants to destroy you.
 
Ofer Zur, PhD is a psychologist, fellow of the American Psychological Association, lecturer, ethics consultant, and forensic expert. He was director of the Zur Institute which offers continuing education courses for mental health practitioners. He was born and raised in Israel. During military service there in 1970, he was stationed in a refugee camp in Gaza.  This experience changed his understanding of Israel’s position in relation to the Palestinians and led to the conviction that he had to leave Israel, which he did in 1979, though he continues to visit relatives and friends in Israel.  
 
This is an important conversation amid the ongoing horror that continues to destroy the lives and infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank. We are hosting an open civil dialogue. We will also discuss possible pathways to co-existence and, hopefully, peace.

Denis Hayes was the organizer and founder of the original Earth Day in 1970! He is President of the Bullitt Foundation and CEO of the Bullitt Center in Seattle, which is lauded as the first major building to meet the ultra-rigorous Living Building Challenge. Denis Hayes made Earth Day happen. He left graduate school at Harvard to work for Senator Gaylord Nelson as national coordinator of the event, and in later years took Earth Day international, organizing events in 141 nations in 1990 and adding China in 2000.  He still chairs the board of the Earth Day Network. During the Carter Administration, he was head of the Solar Energy Research Institute.
 
He has served on dozens of governing boards, including those of Stanford University, the World Resources Institute, the Federation of American Scientists, and the Energy Foundation. Time Magazine has name Hayes as a "Hero of the Planet." He has also received the national Jefferson Medal for Outstanding Public Service as well as the highest awards bestowed by the Sierra Club, The Humane Society of the United States, the National Wildlife Federation, the Natural Resources Council of America, the American Solar Energy Society. and others.  His book, "Cowed: The Hidden Impact of 93 Million Cows on American's Health, Economy, Politics, Culture, and Environment," puts on spotlight on the impact that Big Ag has on the health of the planet and people. Don't miss this opportunity to hear one of the founders of the modern environmental movement!
