The River Composes Us in Concert Together: A Multispecies Tribunal in Defense of What's Common, 2020




In October 2020. the Ecosocialist working group of the Santa Cruz DSA, in collaboration with the Anxiety Caucus, Abolition Ecology Walking Tours, the Pre-figuration, Pleasure and Play group, and Love Boat, organized the first in a series of Multispecies Tribunals in Defense of What’s Common on the banks of the San Lorenzo River in Santa Cruz, CA. 

Thanks in particular to close collaborators Debbie Gould and Martabel Wasserman and all those who gave their voices to the chorus, as well as to Sarah Bird and Jordan Freeman for providing documentation.
