"Our antiracism has to see itself as continuing decolonial struggles to build a world beyond empires" 'A World Without Racism' author Joshua Virasami 🇲🇺🇵🇸 in conversation with @DesreeReynolds last night, opening Fearless Cities South Yorkshire 💬 #FearlessCities

"Care and the commons create the cracks in the system through which the light enters" ☀️ @AngelinaKussy opens our weekend of events on the theme of reimagining our commons through neighbourhoods of care. #FearlessCities

"Degrowth means transforming societies to ensure environmental justice and a good life for all within planetary boundaries" We're exploring degrowth, bus reform, advertising bans and establishing a "right to the city" 📉 #FearlessCities

"At its best, a movement is an ever-moving organism that adapts and shifts when needed. And today it really is needed. We dare to dream of a world where the interests of capitalism are not put over the interests of people" Me today speaking at #FearlessCities SY 💬

"Sometimes you don't want to believe that you have to deal with these threats, but they are here, and they are real" We're exploring how we can best organise against the far-right, with a film screening and Q&A 📽️ #FearlessCities

This is an in-depth well-researched exploration of the whole issue of 'opening up' the Arctic to commercial exploitation and mineral extraction, and how to resist it ... bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/03/14/deg…

Degrowth is key to respecting indigenous rights in the Arctic "...A healthy future means becoming aware of the finite limits of our planet and creating no-go zones for further exploitation, such as the Arctic." Latest by me bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/03/14/deg…

"With hundreds of new mines planned across the Sápmi, with similar tactics Sami water and land defenders are halting or stalling extractive projects across the region." #Sami #Kallak #Beowulf #Arctic bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/03/14/deg…
