Join on Youtube: https://youtu.be/4hGzobrwkOo This session focuses on the need to address the many intertwined crises we are currently facing and how independent movements who are each opposing false solutions and promoting constructive alternatives can cooperate. We will highlight the interconnectedness between the need for common security and disarmament, a just social and ecological transition and an end to a racist world order and neocolonial systems of exploitation – all within a framework of global solidarity against plundering, starvation and poisoning. The speakers comes from the several socially and environmentally concerned popular movements, with voices representing the global mass movemet Via Campesina, the international trade unions, both with some 200 million members, and from the global just transition, peace, economic justice, climate and antiracist movements. Speakers come from East and West, North and South. No movement can alone address all the linkages of all the pressing concerns of the world. And yet only these kinds of movements without vested interests have the ability to address this intertwined challenges we face in ways that of state and markets can never do. This session aims at contributing to such a dialogue across movements, with a particular focus on wars and militarism within a context of social and ecological just transitions.
