Well, beloved, it’s real. You can preorder my book “Beyond Hope” as of now. If you suspect that #MutualAid, #municipalism or the example of #Rojava suggest strategies to survive a hot, dangerous future, if you want to learn from examples ranging from the Black Panther survival programs to the solidarity clinics of Greece, or if you’re interested in a concrete working-out of #solarpunk ideas in the form of the #Lifehouse community resilience hub, this is the book for you. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyond-Hope-Collective-Mutual-Emergency/dp/1788738357

It’s big ideas time! What are yours?

I’m excited to be opening the Call For Proposals for this year’s Green Institute conference, on the theme: “The City Transformed - urban life at the end of the world as we know it”.

We’re looking for speeches and panels and workshops, from activists, advocates, academics, and change-makers of all kinds.

Have a think about what you’d like to discuss, exploring issues around:
- Cities and democratic organising
- Urban ecologies and planning on crisis
- Commining the city and
- Decolonising the city

Get us your proposal by June 16.

All the details are here:
