AMBIENTALISMOS DE LA VIDA COTIDIANA: POLÍTICAS DE COALICIÓN, REPRODUCCIÓN SOCIAL Y JUSTICIA AMBIENTAL

Este artículo examina la política de coalición intersectorial forjada por activistas en organizaciones estadounidenses de justicia ambiental y de derechos de las mujeres. Esta política de coalición articula preocupaciones ecologistas y feministas y rechaza las limitaciones de políticas con enfoques estrechos en favor de una visión de cambio social y ambiental más estratégica y relacional. Formulada desde el concepto marxista-feminista de “reproducción social”, el análisis aborda las maneras complejas en que el capitalismo globalizado ha transformado las responsabilidades corporativas y del estado para la reproducción social. Las políticas neoliberales de privatización y desregulación han erosionado la garantía de un salario digno, seguro de salud asequible, decente educación, aire respirable y agua limpia. Basado en varios ejemplos de movimientos de base y organizaciones comunitarias, el ensayo discute cómo diversas mujeres activistas conectan conceptualmente la justicia ambiental y los problemas sobre derechos reproductivos con las luchas de sus comunidades, para así sostener la vida cotidiana (o para lograr la “reproducción social”). La innovadora política de coalición de organizaciones como las Comunidades Asiáticas por Justicia Reproductiva y la Coalición de Justicia Ambiental y Cambio Climático está generando dinámicos “ambientalismos” con suficiente visión política y “sensatez” comunal para construir una amplia colaboración social-ambiental que tenga la oportunidad de atraer a gente a tomar acciones más fuertes para frenar problemas tan grandes como el calentamiento global

Connecting Sustainability and Environmental Justice

This talk explores the "three pillars" of sustainability (ecology, economics, and equity) through the critical lens of environmental justice. What do we mean when we talk about sustainability? How do different groups of people understand and define the goals and visions of sustainability? This presentation provides examples of sustainability initiatives led by environmental justice organizations focusing on local agriculture, food security, energy and climate justice. It also discusses local partnerships and student-led community-based learning projects with community groups in Philadelphia and Chester, Pa

Acting Globally: Cultivating a thousand community solutions for climate justice

Giovanna Di Chiro is Director of Environmental Programs at Nuestras Raíces, Inc. and Research Associate at the Five College Women's Studies Research Center. She has published widely on the intersections of race, gender, and environmental justice with a focus on women's activism and policy change addressing environmental health disparities in lower income communities. She is completing a book Embodied Ecologies: Science, Politics, and Environmental Justice. Her current work examines environmental justice activists’ reframing of the climate change debate to focus on the local, bodily impacts of wide-scale environmental problems like global warming. Giovanna collaborates with environmental justice organizations to conduct community-based research on environmental health concerns and on developing culturally relevant sustainability initiatives.

Caring Communities for Radical Change: What Can Feminist Political Ecology Bring to Degrowth?

In this chapter, we share the insights of feminist political ecology (FPE) for degrowth, building from the debates on “caring communities for radical change” at the 8th International Degrowth Conference in August 2021. We discuss how FPE links to the principles of degrowth as an academic and activist movement and why it is necessary to take feminist political ecology perspectives on care and caring communities in resisting, questioning, and counteracting the structural racial, gender, and wider social inequalities that uphold and are perpetuated by growth-dependent economic systems. As we critically reflect on the experiences of paid versus unpaid, collectivised versus feminised care work, we argue that care is crucial to social and ecological reproduction in order to build just, sustainable and convivial societies
