Are we as a species headed towards extinction? As our economic system renders our planet increasingly inhospitable to human life, powerful individuals fight over limited resources, and racist reaction to migration strains the social fabric of many countries. How can we retain our humanity in the midst of these life-and death struggles? What some scholars call the “Anthropocene” risks being the new normal – organizing to prevent our demise requires far more… a bottom-up “anthropolitics” grounded in solidarity, seeing and building on the connections between today’s vital movements.
