Grist’s mission is to make the story of a better world so irresistible, you want it right now...
we’re embracing... inspiration from Afrofuturism, as well as Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, disabled, feminist, and queer futures, and the genres of hopepunk and solarpunk.
Q. How did this whole thing get started?
A.In the spring of 2020, Fix convened a group of climate and justice leaders... Through a visioning exercise, we collectively charted out the next 180 years of climate progress... :
- A dissolution of political parties and borders.
- Reparations.
- The return of land to Indigenous and Black stewardship.
- Restorative justice replacing prisons.
- Granting rights to the earth and non-human kin.
- Food sovereignty and heirloom seeds triumphing over monoculture farming.
- An economy built on ecological restoration, mutual aid, and care work.
- The pursuit of right relationships in all our systems and designs.
