✨ Thank you so much to all who attended the Fearless Cities South Yorkshire summit earlier this month!
We had an incredible few days together, exploring the role of cities & neighbourhoods in tackling some of the most complex problems we collectively face. 👇
this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.
Now that the false alternative to fascism has been defeated, and the techno-lux fascism of Trump/Musk will rule, we must build real, community-based & globally connected people’s power.
Fascist oligarchy is an existential threat that can only be resisted with new ways of life.
Over the 2 days and 5 workshops at Fearless Cities South Yorkshire me @citizen_network and the amazing Ruth of @caref_ll w. @esterortega07@glynbutcher and about 100 different folk created a model of #NeighbourhoodCare. More outputs to follow.
