How do we change the world in time?

To survive, we know we must quickly overturn the system that is driving social and ecological collapse. But how do we do that?

Looking around the world, we don't see a vast array of revolutionary parties ready to topple fossil fascism and usher in a new ecosocialist world of peace, cooperation, and sustainability.

But look closer and there is hope! Many creative, passionate folks are working on solutions. Among them are the young drivers behind Portugal’s Climáximo who have recently published a provocative book that attempts to chart a path forward, titled All In: A Revolutionary Theory to Stop Climate Collapse.

System Change Not Climate Change, with the support of our cosponsors, is pleased to be hosting a webinar featuring coauthor Mariana Rodrigues and her Climáximo comrade Alice Gato. They will be sharing highlights from the book and their ideas on the radical path forward they envision for overcoming the multiple threats we face.

This event will stream via Zoom and Facebook Live simultaneously. The first 100 participants to register and log in via Zoom will be able to join the Zoom meeting. If you arrive too late to join on Zoom, just visit our Facebook page where you will find the live streamed video during the event. Soon after the event, we will post an archival copy of the video on our YouTube channel.

Cosponsors of this event are Labor Rise Climate Jobs Action Group, Coalition to Protect New York, FrackbustersNY, and People for a Healthy Environment.

Presenters

Mariana Rodrigues is a Gen Z born in Portugal. Mariana joined the student movement as an organizer and leader while in college. Since 2019, Mariana has organized dozens of direct actions and mass actions at both the national and international levels, facilitated and led action spaces for the climate justice movement at the European and global levels including the Glasgow Agreement and the Earth Social Conference, and played a major role in the campaign against fossil gas in Portugal.

Alice Gato has been a climate justice activist since she was 16, and is currently doing most of her activism in Climáximo. She was one of the main organizers of Fridays For Future Portugal and one of the co-founders of the End Fossil Occupy international campaign.

The Book

All In: A Revolutionary Theory to Stop Climate Collapse

Mariana Rodrigues & Sinan Eden

“The progressive movements need a framework that is politically honest, analytically rigorous, and emotionally connected. This framework must push society into the biggest transformation that has ever occurred in history.”

Comments on All In

“If Rosa Luxemburg was correct that it’s either ‘socialism or barbarism’ and Naomi Klein that capitalism is the root cause of the climate crisis, then the authors of All In ask the next logical question: How do we overthrow capitalism in time to preserve a livable planet? Their conclusions and the revolutionary roadmap they lay out should shock us all into immediate action.”

— Andrew Boyd, Chief Existential Officer at Climate Clock; author of I Want a Better Catastrophe and editor of Beautiful Trouble

“Like a hot bread from an oven, this book appears from inside one of the most effective European branches of the climate movement, Climáximo of Portugal. It does not shy away from the enormity of the task this movement has set itself. Activists will find much to chew on. Perhaps they will even discern some recipes for the cook shop where – if anywhere – a future is made.”

— Andreas Malm, author of Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global Warming and How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire among others

“This book shows the importance and strength of unifying our struggles, going beyond focusing only on our campaigns, and being in solidarity with the struggles of others. This is the way to build peoples power, as this book reveals.”

— Anabela Lemos, leader and defender against extractive megaprojects in Mozambique, fighting for social and environmental justice with a global perspective

“This book is an honest and passionate 'recruitment tool.’ Enrooted in struggling and organizing experience, it offers proposals on how 'to find courage inside our fears' for the climate emergency, and to move beyond thought into collective action. Whatever your position in the climate movement, don't miss it.”

— Stefania Barca, ecofeminist scholar and activist, author of Forces of Reproduction and of Workers of the Earth

“There are few books of this sort. It is a crisp critique of struggles as well as a manual for action. It dips into history, outlines current efforts, cracks and fissures and asks the unavoidable question: why are we complacent in the face of unfolding disasters? This question is for us all to answer.”

— Nnimmo Bassey, author of To Cook a Continent - Destructive Extraction and Climate Crisis in Africa

‘We are heading towards climate hell, with capital's feet on the accelerator. What can one do? The authors of this remarkable essay call for a state of climate emergency, and propose a road map for (anticapitalist) system change. Essential reading for climate activists, ecosocialists and ... everyone.”

— Michael Löwy, author of Ecosocialism. A radical alternative to capitalist catastrophe
