Upcoming Events
The event will take place on Thursday, November 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Chico Women’s Club, 592 E. 3rd St. Four panel members will address various issues about the impacts of capitalism. Tom Reed, Democratic Socialists of America, will discuss the impact of capitalism on the environment and other natural and cultural resources; Bruce McLean, Medicare for All, will talk about capitalism and the health system and alternatives to the current model; Susan Tchudi, co-host of Ecotopia on KZFR, will address an alternative to capitalism, a degrowth model; and Courtney Ellington, Executive Director of the Butte Environmental Council, will describe BEC projects that move us toward a more sustainable society—local food and farms, community and home gardens, recycling, and composting.
