[SMRT.risingtide] Skype Presentation

[Fiona Balazsi]

A
awesome!  thanks for doing this!

B
I suppose highlighting the things particular to rising tide (not like you
need to be like "rising tide is soooo different and better," just since
they probably mostly hear about mainstream big green stuff) as in:
organizing with an anti-capitalist/anti-colonial perspective and an
analysis of the interconnections of oppression and climate injustice.
direct action and diversity of tactics, why particular tactics are useful
in particular instances and why we as a group do things a little
differently than others. i always think that with high-school kids it's
great to get some anti-authoritarian stuff mixed in there (like saying we
don't have people in charge of the actions, meetings, or any of it).
and i already kind of mentioned it but i think particularly in all "BC"
schools you gotta mention colonialism big time, and how environmental
destruction is both symptom and cause.
and like... encouragement for them to participate in the changes they hope
for, that there's no wrong place to start.
hmm also this might all be off base. maybe my secret desire is just to
teach anarchy 101 with highschool students.
