Seminar: "All In: A revolutionary theory to stop climate collapse", by Mariana Rodrigues

Mariana Rodriguez, will visit ICTA-UAB to give a seminar exploring Climaximo’s book “All In”, which calls for worker-led, radical organizing to confront the intertwined crises of climate and inequality through disruptive direct action and systemic change.

Title: "All In: A revolutionary theory to stop climate collapse"
 

Speaker: Mariana Rodrigues, from Climaximo

• Date: Friday, 31st October 2025
• Time: 9.30h to 11.00h.
• Venue: Sala Montseny (Z/022 & Z/023) ICTA-UAB

The seminar is an official session of the Master in Political Ecology, Degrowth and Environmental Justice. Everybody is welcome to attend, respecting the students' educational interests. Climaximo, a climate and environmental justice group from Portugal, will come to present their book All In. The book presents a radical invitation for new ways of organising in the face of the spiralling climate and environmental crisis. The proposal is politically grounded in the inseparability of climate and class struggle, arguing for worker-led mass movements that can support urgent and ambitious environmental policies at the same time as a redistribution of wealth and power. In practice, the book is based on decades of experience organising, and the need to innovate in the tactics the movement uses, putting front and centre disruptive direct action.

Mariana Rodrigues is a Gen Z born in Portugal. She is an organiser and a trainer for social movements, with experience in international networks, with a strong taste for team building and for revolutionary intersectional approaches. She is optimistic and frustrated with the state of the world, a master in improvisation, and much more of a doer than a writer.Mariana joined the student movement as an organiser and leader while in college and has been active in social struggles since 2017. Starting by getting involved in Amnesty International at national and international levels as well as in non-formal education organisations and campaigns, she gradually got drawn into grassroots organisations, including the LGBTI movement, the fight against international free trade agreements and environmentalism. In 2019, she got involved in Extinction Rebellion and later in Climáximo, where she continues her militancy.Since 2019, Mariana organised dozens of direct actions and mass actions at national and international levels, facilitated and led coordination spaces for the climate justice movement at European and global levels – By 2020 We Rise Up, the Glasgow Agreement and the Earth Social Conference – and led the campaign against fossil gas in Portugal. She is a trainer and organiser, with experience in a variety of areas such as communication, outreach, finance, action and well-being.
