From Crisis to Organized Power: What We're Building This second call goes deeper. If the first conversation sparked something, this is where we get serious about strategy.

Over the first 30 minutes, we'll present the full picture: the scale of the climate and social crisis ahead, why current movement strategies have reached their limits, and the long-term strategy for building organizations rooted in material life — housing, food, energy, health — that win real power for people and can ultimately organize mass non-cooperation.

We'll cover the role of local organizations, the proposed international architecture, and what it concretely means to take responsibility as an organizer.

Then it's your turn: questions, challenges, and structured feedback.

By the end, you'll be able to decide whether you want to explore building a new organization where you live — or moving an existing one toward this strategy.

Note: This call builds on the 20 September Community Call — it's primarily designed for those who joined the first conversation. The call is 90min in total.

What do Mamdani’s election in New York, the victory of the eco-socialist party in Copenhagen this year, and a network of Black-led community cooperatives helping to elect their own mayor in Jackson, Mississippi, in the United States, have in common?

All of these examples are rooted in bottom-up community mobilisation: people coming together, organising locally, and making collective decisions through assemblies and direct democracy.

Across our network, we are also beginning to develop experiments in this direction.

One of the main examples we will discuss is Shake It Up in Brixton, London. We will hear how a group of activists, by mobilising people around a local election, managed to build a much more ethnically and culturally diverse group, which is now launching neighbourhood campaigns in Brixton and could become an important model for others.

We will focus mainly on this case, but we will also touch on other examples from the UK, Australia , Denmark and Germany.

We are in the process of building a new international network of associations, organisations and climate movements that want to move beyond purely performative activism and build mass popular bases.

In this meeting, we will discuss how to build neighbourhood-based mobilisation. We believe that the next necessary step for the climate movement is to move quickly beyond activist bubbles and focus, with humility, on working-class neighbourhoods and bottom-up organising.

Hope to see you there.

If you have expressed an interest in all this then this event is for you. If you cannot make it then let us know and we will let you know about future events. And most importantly please share this event with a few friends who would be interested and put it on your own and your networks’ social media. Thanks.
