In this event, we heard from a panel of experts who drilled down (no pun intended) the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and what its implementation will mean for the global climate justice movement. They examined both the good and bad, and what it will take to make the most out of the opportunities presented in it for our collective future. During the event, OBI Director john a. powell cautioned critics not to let the "perfect" be the enemy of the "good." "If we don't participate, if we don't go out and vote, if we don't engage, it pushes us in a deeper hole. So despite all the difficulties I think it's critical that we be involved, both with the [IRA], but also with our electoral process, even though it's deeply flawed." - john a. powell
