What if one of the most effective ways to save our battered and feverish planet lies in our failure to be able to do so?
“Failing to Save the Earth,” is a revolutionary dual-tool for frontline and fence line organizers who wish to achieve greater effectiveness by facing potential failures head-on. Forget the old concept of movement “wins'' or “losses,” this podcast and guide-booklet (coming soon!) are an invitation to rethink our relationship with the definition of failure when working to create social change. Learn from the L’eau Est La Vie resistance camp leadership and their epic, yet “unsuccessful,” campaign to stop the Bayou Bridge pipeline. Determine powerful leverage points within your struggle. Listen to veteran frontline water and land protectors, get inspired, and then prepare to follow the additional step-by-step printed guide-booklet (due to be released in Fall 2022). Learn how to design your own plan for artful and effective failing, and also find out the one way that you will most certainly fail when working to stop social and environmental injustices.
A must listen for anyone committed to saving the Earth!
