In an era of climate disruption and devastating weather events, the 2017 Northern California wildfires were the costliest and most deadly in state history. Northern California is also home to a strong, vibrant grassroots movement and network that immediately jumped into action to protect people and place and begin organizing for the long recovery ahead. A range of grassroots leaders will share success stories and challenges including:
·      A local indigenous perspective on these fires
·      Creating a coalition to galvanize community voice and place equity at the center of recovery
·      Launching a decentralized and community-powered emergency response system
·      Creating a grassroots justice and resilience fund to raise and distribute funds
·      Mobilizing across government, business and community for watershed protection
·      Addressing the mental health challenges that come with crisis
·      Re-landscaping the rebuild with a permaculture lens and community-powered approach
