[Jess Wissemann]

The Ethics and the Common Good Program is hosting Erica Violet Lee on 
campus this Wednesday for a lecture at 5pm in FPH West:

What We Mean When We Talk About Land: Climate Change, Colonialism and 
Indigenous Resistance with Erica Violet Lee 
<https://www.facebook.com/events/515364511998996/?ref=1&action_history=%5B%7B%22surface%22%3A%22permalink%22%2C%22mechanism%22%3A%22surface%22%2C%22extra_data%22%3A%5B%5D%7D%5D>

/In the face of a colonial climate catastrophe, Indigenous women are at 
the forefront of impact and resistance. As we articulate connections 
between the land and our bodies, our struggle for liberation from 
extractive industry becomes deeply personal. Indigenous philosophies 
provide a framework for the rights of nature, and remind us of our 
responsibility to fight for climate justice that necessarily starts with 
decolonization./
