Zoom to Launch Claim the Future

Claim The Future 
Good to Zoom in on the launch of Claim the Future a project organised by John McDonnell my MP Hayes & Harlington, with speakers from all corners of the globe NZ to NY Joseph Stiglitz, Jayati Ghosh, Tina Ngata & Asad Rehman.   and attendees from around the world.  Wednesday 22nd July 2020

I like and see the point that covid-19 is serving as a portal to a new future and the need for a collective imagination. Alongside the pandemic we have the additional crisis of Climate Change so we have to change! 
"There is no going back to business as usual.For our planet, our communities and our future, we need to unite behind a radical and optimistic vision of the world we can build together."
this quote is so true as individuals and communities have been hurt with the pandemic; and in this we saw a dramatic observation which served as major evidence of what we had done in our reckless behaviour. We saw in lockdown how the planet was healing and recovering from our damage.  It gave us a sharp contrast to what our lives & living styles had created pre pandemic and what could be if we work with our planet. We have to value ourselves, our communities and our one planet home.  This means radical change in the way we live our lives or we will not have life to live!  This is my thought on this but if you follow the active link above you will be able to learn more and see the recording of the zoom meeting on the Claim the Future facebook page and join in.
