We are living in a time of growing extreme crises – whether it’s the spiralling housing crisis and crumbling health care system, constantly widening the gap between those living with security and those in precarity; or the growing austerity that is deepening social and economic inequality; or increased environmental degradation and the worsening climate crisis; or the global rise of the far right, and the legitimisation of latent xenophobic, racist and fascist politics.

Hear from our panel of speakers to how do we step up to build a resistance movement that is resourced, empowered, and rooted in solidarity?
