To: silvia federici <[email protected]>, Liliana Buitrago <[email protected]>, Francisca Fernández Droguett <[email protected]>, Hibist Kassa < [email protected]> *Saturday 29th * *9.30 am EST *15:30 CET 19:00 IST JOIN ON ZOOM (MISSISSIPPI ROOM) <https://tinyurl.com/rec3mississippi> (click here) [image: PHOTO-2023-04-23-06-21-57.jpg] The decarbonization of the rich, which is market-based and export-oriented, depends on a new phase of environmental despoliation of the Global South, which affects the lives of millions of women, men, and children, not to mention non-human life. Women, especially from agrarian societies, are amongst the most impacted (from the Manifesto for an Ecosocial Energy Transition from the Peoples of the South <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfl_OW5eY_lZNABezGBhsbL3fy2xPOSpB0qwifkjnkA0B6y1A/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0> ) The current model of ecological transition is inscribed in the same exploitative, colonial, patriarchal paradigm of late capitalism, ready to sacrifice life on the planet for the gain and power of the very few. How to think and act for a truly *just *transition that protects life in all its forms against extractive neoliberal forces at work today? What are the strategies and tactics of eco-feminists, popular, community, and territorial feminisms emerging today in those territories that are the most affected by the so-called ‘ecological’ transition? As a basis for our conversation, we will discuss some of the points highlighted in the Manifesto for an Ecosocial Energy Transition from the Peoples of the South <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfl_OW5eY_lZNABezGBhsbL3fy2xPOSpB0qwifkjnkA0B6y1A/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0> * an important document that illustrates the dynamics at stake and how they impact people in different territories.
