Description

Join this presentation and discussion with Fred Magdoff, Professor Emeritus of Plant and Soil Science at the University of Vermont, regarding climate change, capitalism, and socialism.

Our climate emergency has ignited global protest and organizing for a transition to eliminate emissions of greenhouse gases. This raises urgent questions. What would a socially just and ecologically sustainable future society look like? And if the current economic system can’t adequately respond to this need, what are the strategies to advance our struggle?

Fred Magdoff is Professor Emeritus of Plant and Soil Science at the University of Vermont. Among his recent books are Agriculture and Food in Crisis (edited with Brian Tokar), What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know About Capitalism (with John Bellamy Foster) and Creating an Ecological Society: Toward a revolutionary transformation (with Chris Williams).

CCTV Celebrates Community Media Day!

October 20th is Community Media Day (CMD), a celebration of free speech, local storytelling, and the power of community voices! CMD recognizes the essential role that public access TV stations and community media centers play in strengthening democracy: keeping local news accessible, amplifying underrepresented voices, and building connections across our neighborhoods. In honor of CMD, a few of our dedicated Community Producers shared why community media matters to them. I encourage you to check it out.
