- The richest 1% of European citizens have an average carbon footprint of 55 tons/year
- The richest 10%: 22 tons/year

At R&Di we acknowledge the long history of successful change brought about by worker led action - we believe that transnational alliances are integral to continuing this transformational change and we hope to contribute toward this end with this Circle.

The circle aims to combat the many crises we face by:
1. Building transnational alliances of workers and activists
2. Pushing for economic democracy and empowering workers agains colonial and capitalist systems of oppression
3. Co-creating a collective platform for coordinated labour action

The global economic system centered around maximized profits and endless growth is incapable of fairly providing for the needs of the world’s majority. On the contrary, it is all the while eroding the environmental conditions necessary for human and non-human life on Earth.
