Ecosocialism and a Green New Deal - with Alex Phillips

Start: 2020-05-21 20:00:00 UTC Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London (GMT+00:00)

This is a virtual event

Coronavirus has laid bare the flaws in our neoliberal economic system - its insatiable need for economic growth at the cost of people and planet.

But as we work through and recover from the current crisis, we must ensure that the next stage of society is not one of more capitalist growth, inequality and a certain path towards climate disaster.

A radical Green New Deal is the only way to deliver this recovery. We need a strategy that re-boosts the economy at the same time as revitalising our public services through public ownership, tackling the climate crisis and winning a just transition for workers of all nations.

But how do we build this Green New Deal? And what does it look like in the current crisis?

Join us on Thursday 21 May at 8pm to hear from former Green Party MEP, Alex Phillips on the ecosocialism and the need for a radical new Green New Deal and just transition for all.
