Malcolm Harris Forum

Malcolm Harris Forum  Grace Cathedral, San Francisco     Just as humans have caused climate change, we hold the power to avert a climate apocalypse, but that will only happen through collective political action.    In WHAT'S LEFT: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis, bestselling author Malcolm Harris cuts through the noise and gets real about our remaining options for saving the world. Harris outlines the three strategies—progressive, socialist, and revolutionary—that have any chance of succeeding, while also revealing that none of them can succeed on their own.    WHAT'S LEFT is a vital and transformative guide for collective political action against the climate apocalypse, from "a brilliant thinker and writer capable of making the intricacies of economic conditions supremely readable" (Vulture).    Join Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral, for a conversation with Harris about his meta-strategy, one that will ensure we can move forward together rather than squabbling over potential solutions while the world burns.    Recorded at Grace Cathedral on April 23, 2025.    Give to Grace   You can help us bring the arts to life at Grace with a gift today to The Forum. gracecathedral.org/give      Become a GraceArts Member  Love engaging dialogue?
