ASCP Spring 2023 Zoom Book Club Sign-Up
Join the academic sub-committee of the Auraria Sustainable Campus Program (ASCP) as they host the sixth Environmental Justice Zoom Book Club. We've selected the acclaimed All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis, a collection edited by Katharine Wilkinson and Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. This book has a reputation for inspiring hope with its intersections of feminism, climate advocacy, and art. As Good Reads characterizes it: "All We Can Save ... aims to advance a more representative, nuanced, and solution-oriented public conversation on the climate crisis. These women offer a spectrum of ideas and insights for how we can rapidly, radically reshape society. Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on one another or our collective future. We must summon truth, courage, and solutions to turn away from the brink and toward life-giving possibility. Curated by two climate leaders, the book is a collection and celebration of visionaries who are leading us on a path toward all we can save." All We Can Save is available as an e-book, audio, and print book at Denver Public Library and Auraria Library.

As in our 5 prior book clubs, we will strive to create a dialogic space of deep listening. We will recognize that participants are likely affected in different ways and with different intensities, by environmental racism; and that participants are likely to have different access to, and experience with, legacies of racism and injustice. We will prioritize in each session conversations about what each of us might do next, individually and collectively, to be responsive to environmental racism and creative toward environmental justice.

Our sessions are scheduled for Tuesdays from 6:15-7:30pm on following dates/times (we will email a Zoom link and password within 3 days of session 1 to all who complete the form below):

2.21: Begin Root, Advocate
3.7: Reframe, Reshape
3.21 Persist, Feel
4.4: Nourish
4.18: Rise

 A note on the schedule: This is a big book (420+ pages). The facilitators have scheduled 3 sessions that cover 2 large sections (2.21, 3.7, and 3.21). Our intention is that each participant will engage the selections that feel the most relevant to them, and share so that we can cover more ground (and likely, these early chapters are the more familiar ground). The final two sections will receive a full book club evening on the schedule, as these look to be the newest terrain, and where participants may want to dwell as we suss out plans for what is next inspired by All We Can Save.
