MARXISM AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS | The International Workers’ League (Fourth International), LIT-QI, will promote, on September 27th, a debate entitled “Marxism and Environmental Crisis”, as part of the global mobilization week, called Global Climate Strike.
The climate crisis is undeniable and its drastic consequences can be seen and felt everywhere, so it is crucial to discuss how it can be stopped.
The panel will be presented by Osmarino Amâncio, a leader of rubber tappers in the state of Acre, in the Amazon area, and a resident in the “Chico Mendes” Extractive Reserve. Since his childhood, Osmarino has lived under the exploitation imposed on rubber tappers and witnessed the beginning of the invasion and destruction of the lands by large landowners and its consequences in the forest. Just like many other “Forest People”, Osmarino lives under constant threats against his life but has never given up the fight in defence of the Amazon.
The panel will also count on the participation of comrades from other regions of Brazil and representatives of IWL´s section in Portugal and Spain.
You can participate via our live stream, which can be reached on our page: https://litci.org/en/ or through Facebook https://www.facebook.com/IWLFI/
