Choosing Our Terrain

Choosing Our Terrain

Author: How to Survive the End of the World November 1, 2024 Duration: 1:19:30

Heading into the election and building on our ongoing series, election time with amb, adrienne and Autumn discuss taking responsibility for the political terrain where we stand, rooting in moments of intimacy, how to orient to this election, actual loss, the landscape at the national level of revolutionary organizing, build and defend, blocking MAGA while building the left, political advertisements, Vote by PalSwap My Vote, surviving inside this contradiction, a care-based society and what’s needed in this next period in history.

No matter the outcome of the election, the fight for freedom will continue. As we regroup and continue our efforts to block fascism and build power locally, nationally and globally, we will need to fortify ourselves for ongoing struggle. How do we build endurance for liberation?

Join Autumn, Ricardo Levins Morales and Arianna Genis on Friday, Novemeber 15th @ 1:30 CT as they explore the power of combining our historical wisdom with innovative thinking. Our collective revolutionary past offers invaluable lessons, while our shared visions of the future inspire us to explore unconventional approaches. Our future depends on our ability to rise to this challenge.

Sisters Autumn Brown and adrienne maree brown host How to Survive the End of the World, a podcast rooted in their shared lives as writers, activists, and facilitators shaped by multiracial diasporic lineages. This isn't a theoretical discussion about distant catastrophes; it's a direct, grounded conversation about the endings we are all already living through-the collapse of systems, the death of old ways, and the personal transformations that feel like worlds dissolving. Each episode delves into the tangible, often messy practices a community needs to navigate these ruptures. You'll hear them explore how we grieve, how we organize, how we imagine futures, and how we find wholeness even as things fall apart. The dialogue is intimate and urgent, moving from the kitchen table to the front lines of social change, always asking what it means to survive with integrity and connection. This podcast operates from the belief that learning to face endings together is the first, most necessary step toward building something new.
