The Root Cause Lecture Series
Hosted at the Wilbraham Public Library in Western Massachusetts, The Root Cause Lecture Series (RCLS) is an independent collection of ecosocialist thought. RCLS consists of voluntary presentations by, and Q&A discussions with, renowned scholars and climate activists. Lectures are free and open to the public on Sundays at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
The overarching goal of the series is to make the case that the climate crisis is caused by really existing capitalism’s profit motive. We invite different viewpoints. Those interested can participate in person at the library or virtually at bit.ly/RCLSlivestream. Contact rootcauselectureseries@gmail.com for more information.
