DESCRIPTION:Locally, nationally, and internationally, the capitalist class continues to 
 push forward with extracting as much natural resources as possible in the 
 name of profit.  As climate change worsens, fracking, and the building of 
 oil refineries continue, it's clear that indigenous people and communities 
 of color will be affected the worst. As Chris Williams recently stated in 
 his article on environmental violence, "One cannot be a social justice 
 activist without equally being an ecological justice activist; and link 
 arms with all those fighting racist environmental violence the world over." 
  Join the ISO Mission branch along with Chris Williams for a discussion on 
 environmental racism and the need to fight for an eco-socialist 
 revolution.\n\nChris Williams is a long-time environmental activist and 
 author of Ecology and Socialism: Solutions to Capitalist Ecological Crisis

 Weekly, Alternet,CommonDreams, ClimateAndCapitalism, 
 ClimateStoryTellers,Counterpunch, The Indypendent, Dissident Voice, 
 International Socialist Review, Truth Out, Socialist Worker, and ZNet.  He 
 also recently reported from Warsaw on the most recent round of climate 
 talks in November 2013.\n\nAzibuike Akaba is based in Oakland, California 
 and he is working at the Public Health Institute as an environmental policy 
 analyst and as a researcher on climate change, public health, air quality,
