As the international cost of living crisis worsens and climate change intensifies, corporations are making record-breaking profits. Whether it’s fossil fuel billionaires, big banks or tech giants, their interests are a threat to the 99%. But around the world people are taking to the streets, challenging corporations and governments and successfully creating alternatives!
Join us for We Rise to learn more about this fight for global justice. Together we’ll unpack how colonialism, capitalism, hostile border regimes, and corporate power have created vast inequality, and how we organise to end it. There are many ways to get involved in activism, from protesting to writing articles to making art! Come see what interests you and meet like-minded people. United the many small steps we take can build a radically new world.
Sessions will include:
Capitalism, colonialism and climate reparations: Justice for the Global South!
Creatively writing a future without prisons
Border Justice: stopping deportations and immigration raids
Health not Wealth: why we need a new pharmaceuticals system
Is Latin America turning left?
