Our event, From Crisis to Justice, pathways to a #GlobalGreenNewDeal has started.

Unfortunately, due to technical issues, this will not be live streamed (however we will make a recording available as soon as possible).

But check out the thread below for some of our highlights

"Neoliberalism has taken a wrecking ball to the welfare state and communities in the Global South but also in the Global North. Taking away the basic things we need for a dignified life.

Any Green New Deal, needs to deliver for all of us."
@KateAronoff

@KateAronoff "Green New Deal conversations should be a basis for rupture, for movement building, to build class conscience.

When we say uproot the system, the system has a name - it's called capitalism"

@KateAronoff @safbf Emem Okom began with a tribute to Ken Saro-Wiwa & the Ogoni Environmental defenders, murdered 26 years ago defending the Niger Delta.

"We are united in the demand to shift from fossil fuels because our communities have gained nothing from them but debt, poverty and diseases."

@KateAronoff @safbf "Market solutions are utopian, our solutions are realistic. But we need to organise around them.

We understand that having ideas, even the best ideas, is not enough. We need to build power!"

@KateAronoff @safbf @vijayprashad Richard Kozul-Wright from @UNCTAD tells us about the fight to transform our multilateral system in order to usher in a new global political economy that is not founded on austerity and exploitation.
