In this first topic, we explore what fascism is and go through some history, including how and why it came about. This isn't just about Hitler and the Nazis. There's a lot more to it than that!

Part 1 of our webinar and discussion series: "Fascism - what on earth is it, why does it matter and how should we respond?"

Topics include: 

1.      What is fascism 
2.      Fascist myth making 
3.      Modern day fascism 
4.      What to do – Protect, defend, heal 

The first of these webinars "What is Fascism?" will be held online on Wednesday, February 4 from 6-7:30pm. 

Join us to hear from Dr Simon Stevens, Lecturer in Historical and Political Studies at the School of Arts and Humanities, Edith Cowan University. 

Simon teaches and has taught a wide range of subjects, including giving regular lectures on fascism, including modern-day fascism. Simon has dedicated his life to social justice and we are very pleased to be able to collaborate with him for this series.

We’ll start each session hearing from Simon, then explore what this means for our communities, our work and the work for Climate Justice. The format of the events will include some formal presentation, slides, small group discussion and whole group discussion.

We ask people to review our "CJU Principles" before attending, as these will be upheld during each event.

We acknowledge that we begin our work as The Climate Justice Union on the Boodja (land) of the Wadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We honour the Wadjuk people and their kin in other Nations and Country across these lands and waters, who have always cared for this place and all who lived here.

We acknowledge First Nations Elders past and present, and acknowledge that those of us living here, who came from across the seas, live on land that was taken, stolen. We acknowledge the responsibility that comes with this understanding and that we personally and collectively benefit from this theft.

As such, we all have a responsibility to decolonise ourselves, our lives and work, and to heal the harm these oppressive systems have inflicted.
