Green Sunday, September 14, 5:00 – 6:30 pm
Activist and scholar Dr. Laurence H. Shoup will discuss the causes and consequences of the most serious crisis modern humanity has ever faced, the ongoing ecological crisis. He will tie it to the upcoming September 21 mobilizations in New York and worldwide, these representing a stage in the building of a resistance movement capable of understanding and confronting this crisis and those who are ultimately responsible. Information about the New York mobilization is at: http://peoplesclimate.org/march/ For the Oakland event, see: http://bayareasept21-350bayarea.nationbuilder.com/
Dr. Laurence H. Shoup received his PhD in U.S. history from Northwestern University in 1974. A 50 year activist for peace, social justice and ecological sanity, he was the Green Party’s candidate for California Secretary of State in 2002. His fifth book, Wall Street’s Think Tank: The Council on Foreign Relations and the Empire of Neoliberal Geopolitics 1976-2014 will be published by Monthly Review Press in the Spring of 2015.
