Listening Circle: Municipal Projects - A Global Struggle
The fight for the city: A listening circle on global municipal projects
About this event
Join us for Feb. 26th for an internationalist Listening Circle:
Participants and supporters of Vancouver For All are invited to learn from speakers including Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson, representatives of the DSA-LA Popular Power slate, and other municipal left platform worldwide. (More speakers TBA)
The movement to win cities that put the interests of people ahead of profit is global. From Barcelona to Jackson to Valparaiso, cities around the world have been electing left municipal governments in close collaboration with social movements. This Listening Circle is for all those who want to learn from and dialogue with experienced international organizers. Our local movements are part of a global struggle for a better world.
Vancouver For All is a grassroots, participatory platform, initiated by the DSOV, for the municipal election taking place in October 2022. Help us put the needs of the many over the greed of a few. Sign up to support and get involved: https://www.democraticsocialistsyvr.ca/our-platform
