Challenging the billionaire takeover

From Trump and his tech bros undermining democracy and giving more power to Big Tech, to the fossil fuel companies making eye watering profits while driving the climate crisis – Global Justice Now’s campaigns to challenge the wealth and power of these corporations and billionaires couldn’t be more relevant.

Speakers

• Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now
• Seema Syeda, trade campaigner with Global Justice Now and Another World Is Possible.

They’ll be talking about how we stop trade deals that endanger our data and online safety rules, lower food standards and threaten the NHS, and how we confront the power of fossil fuel companies globally and ensure that the transition to clean energy is fast and fair.
