This past week I attended and spoke at the United States Society for Ecological Economics Biennial Conference. The conference was held at Oberlin College just outside the best city in the world (Cleveland, Ohio). The Degrowth Institute hosted a one-day Degrowth assembly on the first day of the conference (June 18th) to help kick off the proceedings with a degrowth message.

Today, young black men in the United States have direct control over whether people in the South will be happy or whether they will not. That is a great deal of power. It is power that is very easy to use, requires very little sacrifice, and can do a great deal of good.
