Start: Friday, May 02, 2025•11:15 AM

Join us on Friday, May 2, for an unusual public lecture: “HOW TO DISRUPT FOSSIL-FUEL BUSINESS-AS-USUAL.”

Led by renowned scholar-activists Kevin Young and Bill McKibben, this event will lay out the evidence for how and why to leverage disruptive action against ecocide and genocide...and provide an unexpected opportunity to celebrate the Cornell activists who are challenging fossil-fuel extractivism and its military enablers.

Kevin Young is the author of Abolishing Fossil Fuels and a professor of history who defies convention. Bill McKibben is the founder of 350.org and a professor organizing planetary-scale activism. Professor McKibben will join us virtually and Professor Young will join us live.

When: 11:15 am on Friday, May 2

Where: Uris Hall Auditorium (and live stream)
