For too long, the rules of the global economy have been written by and for the few elites, billionaires and multinationals. Our leaders have measured success through GDP growth. But GDP is nothing more than a crude sum of certain types of economic activity. The “growth at all costs” model counts […]

The devastation of Gaza... is not a moral anomaly. It belongs to the same architecture. The same hierarchy of human worth. The same assumption that some lives are fully human, while others are expendable.

Children abused on a private Caribbean island.

From labour movements and civil rights struggles to anti-colonial campaigns and contemporary calls for accountability, protest has been one of democracy’s most vital instruments. It is how citizens signal that laws, policies, or practices have drifted away from the principles of dignity […]

Madness is a reasonable reaction to a world where people kill each other over lines on a map.
This is a real example of a system that we feel we have no control of. Therefore, we do not live in a democracy of the people but in a managed consensus, where choice exists only within boundaries drawn […]

The takeover by authoritarianism illustrates the importance of recognising our interconnected planet. We are not its owner. We are its steward.

How can we learn from history recent and ancient? How can we learn from our ancestors?

Just because it's the law doesn't make it right. That's why our "leaders" make them. This has become more apparent with the growing politicisation of court/justice systems around the world.
The law should not be weaponised. Sadly, it (the law) is made by those who espouse "the rule of law." As […]
