Speaker -- David Orr
Join us in a conversation with David Orr -- Thursday, September 11, 2025
(RSVP BELOW)
The lack of authentically democracy in the U.S. has permitted corporate entities to pursue their own economic and political interests virtually unchecked. This includes plundering the earth and poisoning land, water and air - resulting in the climate crises. What inadequate regulations existed before the Trump regime are now being systematically eliminated.
The dual crises of democracy and climate change are not separate, but are one interrelated threat to the human future.
That’s the theme of Democracy in a Hotter Time, edited by David Orr, which calls for reforming democratic institutions as a prerequisite for avoiding climate chaos and adapting governance to how Earth works as a physical system.
Orr is the Emeritus Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics at Oberlin College. He is the founder and visionary of The Oberlin Project – formed out of his vision of full-spectrum sustainability: an all-encompassing joint venture by the town and College to create a thriving, sustainable and environmentally friendly community in Oberlin.

The program is sponsored by Move to Amend’s Ecology Network (Eco-Net), a space Move to Amend created to focus on the relationship between corporate power and environmental catastrophe. We’re interested in gathering with folks who, like us, want an end to corporate destruction of the Earth for-profit and to create alternatives for a truly livable world.
Hope to see you there: Thursday, September 11, 5pm PT, 6pm MT, 7pm CT, 8pm ET
