A renowned expert on the American economy, Heather McGhee is one of the most brilliant and influential thinkers exploring inequality today.

Just Transition Primer
Let’s come together online to align understanding and action in support of effective, collective responses to the moment we are living in.
We’ve been through a global pandemic. Soaring prices for housing and food make it increasingly difficult to secure our basic needs. Wildfire smoke and damaging storms are commonplace. Our entrenched political divides are laced with conflict and create a sense of insecurity. How do we make sense of these realities? Where can we glimpse the kind of possibility worth coming together to work for? This workshop provides an opportunity to connect, explore a shared vision of Just Transition, and consider the question: What will it take to build systems centered on care for each other and our shared home? What would it mean for many of us in the Mahicantuck (Hudson) Valley to be focused on social and ecological well-being? Join us online, in community, to deepen your understanding of the Just Transition framework, principles and practices. Through video, reflection, story sharing, and small group discussion, you will:
- See people from across the country describing aspects of Just Transition
- Hear how other participants respond to the framework
- Connect your own experience to extractive and regenerative economic paradigms
- Gain a sense of the framework, principles and practices, and where they come from
- Discuss ways you are drawn toward weaving one or more Just Transition principles and practices into your Good Work
