Episode Synopsis

In this second episode of Solarpunking, we ask: what is true freedom, and how do you attain it?Drawing from the solarpunk ideology, we explore the power of community-driven change, reimagining our relationship with the land, and practical visions for a just, ecologically sound future.We also respond to a powerful answer from Nine Simone about what freedom meant to her, and listen to the late-great James Baldwin to find hope in his words.Whether you’re new to solarpunk or already sowing seeds of change, this episode is an invitation to dream boldly and act with intention.If you want to support the protests this weekend and you are financially able, consider donating to the National Bail Fund Network, National Lawyers Guild, or the Civil Liberties Defense Center (CLDC).🌱 Follow Solarpunking Online:Website: solarpunking.comInstagram: @solarpunkingThreads: @solarpunkingBluesky: @solarpunking.bsky.socialSources: 1) Nina: A Historical Perspective (Peter Rodis dir., 1970).2) "Last Time (I Seen the Sun)" (Alice Smith & Miles Caton, performed in Sinners (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 2025).3) Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris (Terence Dixon dir., 1970).
