6 Billion Ways 2011

Saturday 5 March 2011 |

From austerity measures to war and environmental devastation. Across the world, ordinary people are paying the price for crises they are not responsible for.
It doesn't have to be this way, and people everywhere are fighting back. From the grassroots to the global, communities and movements are imagining and creating a world where people and planet come before profit, and democracy trumps corporate power.
6 Billion Ways is a day that explores this resistance through discussion, ideas, action and the arts. With speakers and practical workshops for all ages, debates, films, music and art, 6 Billion Ways is your chance to inspire and be inspired, and to make connections with others who want to challenge injustice and inequality, both in the UK and globally.
Have a look at what we did in 2009:
There will be sessions on: the spending cuts, sweatshop exploitation, the housing crisis, consumerism, Latin America, Afghanistan, Palestine and much more.
Speakers include:
Walden Bello, Caroline Lucas MP, Tariq Ramadan, Pablo Solon, Lidy Nacpil, Rob Newman, Samir Amin, Omar Barghouti, Dave Randall, Mark Serwotka, Hilary Wainwright, Patrick Bond, Nina Power and Ronnie Kasrils.
