We must uproot the social and economic systems of exploitation and oppression which are destroying our planet and keeping millions in poverty, while lining the pockets of wealthy corporations and shareholders. All our struggles are connected; our justice is collective.
Hear from and stand shoulder to shoulder with activists and justice movements from across the Global South and North: from Indigenous communities defending their lands from destructive mining corporations to garment workers taking on low wages and poor conditions in the exploitative fashion industry, to Palestinians demanding an end to colonisation, and trade unionists challenging Amazon’s tax dodging.
