Summit Program

1. What Comes After Capitalism? A keynote by Yanis Varoufakis, followed by a panel discussion with Vijay Prashad, Ece Temelkuran, and Nick Estes 14:00 - 15:30 UTC

The horizon of post-capitalism is coming into clearer focus —
but it remains to be seen if the post-capitalist economy will be authoritarian and oligarchic or democratic and social. Yanis Varoufakis kicks off a panel discussion of how we can win the fight for a post-capitalist future.
 

2. The Years of Repair, a keynote by Naomi Klein, followed by a panel discussion with Katrín Jakobsdóttir, Tasneem Essop, Vanessa Nakate and Aruna Roy 16:00 - 17:30 UTC

The Covid-19 pandemic has imposed lock downs around the world. How can we harness the new pace of our lives to heal the deep rifts in our societies? Join Naomi Klein and other members of the Council to discuss how we can use this time for reparation on multiple fronts: climate, race, economy, and infrastructure.
 

3. Internationalism or Extinction, a keynote by Noam Chomsky, followed by a panel discussion with Nanjala Nyabola, Cornel West, and John McDonnell 18:00 - 19:30 UTC 

Capital is coordinated. Our struggles against injustice and oppression must be the same. Noam Chomsky and other members of the Council set out the existential threat facing humanity — and how the Progressive International can fight back.
 

4. Reclaiming Democracy in Latin America, co-hosted by Wiphalas Across the World, with Luis Arce, Andrés Arauz, Alicia Castro & more 20:00 - 21:30 UTC

We are witnessing the destruction of democratic institutions across Latin America and around the world. Join Luis Arce — Bolivian presidential candidate from the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS-IPSP) — Alicia Castro, Andrés Arauz, Gustavo Petro, and Wiphalas Across the World to discuss how progressive forces are fighting to reclaim democracy and popular sovereignty in Bolivia and across Latin America against increasing powerful tactics of legal warfare, or ‘lawfare.’
