⚡Join us for our first Survival Sunday on how to end poverty
📍Online & TBD
🗓️ August 7th, 2024
🕰️ 12 pm UTC, for 5 hours!
We are running to become United Nations Secretary-General to ensure humanity’s survival. That's why we are hosting this Survival Sunday.
700 million people - one human being in ten - live in extreme poverty. They survive on less than $1.90 a day, with the COVID-19 pandemic having pushed 150 million more into extreme poverty. People go hungry and lack basic services, such as clean water, sanitation, healthcare and housing.
And all this in a world of plenty. We produce enough food to feed 1.5 times the global population. We have more wealth and resources than ever, although the Few - some countries, companies and individuals - hoard them. We must redistribute our common goods better and guarantee safety nets for all. Join this event to develop radical ideas on how to do so.
What are #SurvivalSundays? Monthly radical grassroots consultations to harness your ideas, vision, and passion to solve the most urgent threats of our times. The United Nations is too remote, isolated and out of touch with the people of our planet. Through #SurvivalSundays, we change this, involving individuals and communities from around the planet. And we mean it: our teams of volunteers will then take those ideas, work on them and we will push them in our electoral campaign.
How can you participate? Survival Sundays take place both online and in person! So register, and we will send you all the information (if you want to host a decentralised in-person event, reach out).
What will happen? We will involve you to create a genuine political revolution. We know it may be daunting to be challenged with coming up with ideas to save the world, but we have your back. We have facilitated many successful consultations before. Together, we will 1) Identify the core sticking points/issues, 2) Prioritize the topics to be discussed, 3) develop concrete solutions that we will push forward in our UN campaign. The event is set to last 5 hours. We will offer participation via Zoom as well for those who cannot make it in person.
More details coming soon.
