Desiree Hellegers and Julian Ankney, Nimiipuu director of Native Programs at Washington State University Vancouver talk about WSU’s 5th annual SJCon social justice conference coming up on April 19 and 20, which is virtual, free, and open to the public. This year is focused on “Health & Environmental Justice: Constructing Coalitions at the Intersections of Extraction, Militarism, and Climate Collapse.” As of 2022, more than 1500 institutions globally “with over $40 trillion in assets, have committed to some level of fossil fuel divestment.” Still, more action is needed to mobilize institutions of higher education, faith communities, unions, and local and state governments to divest from extractive industries–along with the war industries they fuel.
