Building new solidarities in struggle – Celebrating ideas into action TNI at 50 – IPS at 60 years
Event date:
-
CET
This political cultural moment is dedicated to the current social and political struggles in the US today – the anti-corporate campaigns and labour rights; anti-racism; mobilisations against the genocide in Palestine and an end to war and for a people-based democracy against the rise of authoritarianism and the far right.
We will also mark and reflect on the work of 50 years of Transnational Institute (TNI Amsterdam) and 60 years of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS Washington). Both IPS and TNI were born out the struggles against dictatorship and for democracy; against imperial wars and for peace; for global economic justice and against racism, and for equal rights for all. Their paths have continued to cross on sites of struggle over the decades and now together the horizon is the future for people and the planet and the struggle at all levels for a just and democratic government in the public interest.
In this space, the present will interact with the past–and together we will address the challenges of the future - explore how to build a new Global Pact of Solidarity.
Brief Interventions will include:
Labor Frontline struggles – Gerard Bryson
Amazon Labor Union
Genocide in Gaza in the context of international law, the ICJ -- and the US elections- Phyllis Bennis (IPS)
