Forum for the Future utilizes the systems thinking 'iceberg model' to explore the civil rights movement, revealing how different parts of a system interact and influence one another.

This analysis clarifies that no single event initiated the movement; instead, it evolved through decades of collaboration and perseverance.

By understanding these dynamics, we can collectively reshape power and privilege, designing free, democratic societies that support everyone on the planet to flourish.

Indigenous Peoples lead the "Rights of Nature" movement, reflecting their worldviews that ecosystems have a right to flourish. This panel features Indigenous leaders whose tribes have adopted Rights of Nature frameworks to protect sacred territories.

They will share practical strategies for organizing and implementing Rights of Nature campaigns within international legal frameworks. Join us to learn more about the movement and how you can participate.

The panel was moderated by Brittany Gondolfi, with speakers Samantha Skenandore, Danielle Greendeer, and Erin Matariki Carr. This talk was delivered at the 2023 Bioneers Conference.

Human objects in space are creating dangerous clutter. MIT Assistant Professor Danielle Wood advocates for sustainable space technology, stressing the need to respect both people and the environment in future missions. This approach is crucial for managing the "industrial waste" accumulating beyond Earth.

One promising solution involves a wax-based fuel for satellites, made from beeswax and candle wax. This less toxic and more affordable alternative would help bring objects closer to Earth for safe deorbiting and destruction, offering a sustainable way to address space debris.

In 2020, the US Government de-established the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's reservation trust land during the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision is particularly poignant, occurring 400 years after the Pilgrims arrived, settling on land previously ravaged by a European-introduced epidemic (1616-1620) that decimated up to 90% of the Wampanoag population. Despite this devastating history, the Wampanoag helped the Pilgrims survive and remain on their ancestral homelands, now threatened by the Department of the Interior.

Listen to a 35-minute conversation with Alexis Bunten (Indigeneity Program) and Mashpee Wampanoag citizen Danielle Hill. They discuss how this decision reflects a broader legacy of tribal termination, and the roles of capitalism and racism.
