From Satyagraha to Ujamaa – EH in Cape Town
July 2, 2014
Ecosocialist Horizons is honored to have been invited to attend the first fully Pan-African conference on nonviolence in Cape Town, South Africa this July. This historic gathering will be the largest Pan-African gathering of organizers and activists for revolutionary nonviolence since the height of the anti apartheid struggle.
Three years ago, Ecosocialist Horizons was launched in Durban, South Africa, and thanks to our comrades at War Resisters International, we are once again returning to the source!
In addition to participating in the theme group “Resisting the War on Mother Earth: Reclaiming Our Home“, Ecosocialist Horizons will be producing a public event on July 5 at Cape Town City Hall: “Act Now Against Climate Catastrophe: From Satyagraha to Ujamaa!”
Connecting the traditions of Gandhi’s revolutionary nonviolence (satyagraha) with Julius Nyerere’s African socialism (ujamaa), we will chart a course towards climate justice.
Stay tuned to the Ecosocialist Horizons website for coverage of the conference.
