SUMMARY:Creating Sustainable Futures in Unsustainable Times: Bicycles, Justice & Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Date: May 21, 2025\nTime: 10:00am - 11:30am ET\nLocation: Online\nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creating-sustainable-futures-in-unsustainable-times-tickets-1320224590289?aff=oddtdtcreator ( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creating-sustainable-futures-in-unsustainable-times-tickets-1320224590289?aff=oddtdtcreator )\nBicycles hold immense potential for addressing today’s pressing social and climate justice challenges. However, coordinating and sustaining grassroots cycling movements remains difficult, especially as global development aid for climate action and broader humanitarian work rapidly declines. Indeed, we are living in a moment of profound global injustice, where imperialism, colonial violence, and systemic oppression dictate whose struggles and resistances are recognized. In this context, grassroots organizing and local self-determination have become more pressing than ever.  This webinar explores how bicycling serves as a tool for justice, sustainability, and collective resistance. Indeed, we see bicycling/mobility justice in responding to uncertain global contexts, including a rise in right-wing fascist governments, climate change and its unequal effects on vulnerable communities, and an escalation on anti-immigrant policies and sentiments. Those most affected – racialized, Indigenous, low-income, and gender-diverse communities – are leading powerful mobility justice movements. They are reclaiming space, resisting exclusion, and challenging systemic inequalities through cycling activism.  Speakers will share insights from different regions, highlighting how bicycles are more than transportation – they are a means of survival, self-determination, and community care. This conversation will thus bring together activists, researchers, and practitioners striving to make transportation more accessible and equitable.\n
