Webinar 27 May – Feminist realities: Transforming democracy in times of crisis

Dear reader,

We hope you were able to join our webinar, Public is Back – Proposals for a democratic just economy. The speakers from Australia, Italy, Nigeria and India provided a powerful indictment of how privatisation has failed to deliver essential services and the human costs that have resulted. Besides exposing the failures of privatisation the webinar was also inspirational, showing the ways in which new movements of workers and community activists are resisting and constructing alternatives. In case you missed it, you can watch the webinar here <https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=SwFSxi&mc=Ci&s=ZfVbkb&u=Stcs4&z=EVDYwoX&>.

The next in our weekly series of Wednesday webinars, Feminist Realities: Transforming democracy in times of crisis, takes place on 27 May at 4pm CET will continue the conversation looking at how to transform democracy and our economy. It has been co-organised with AWID. You can register here <https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=SwFSYs&mc=Ci&s=ZfVbkb&u=Stcs4&z=EFrEyui&>.



The conversation will be led by acclaimed feminist thinkers and activists including Silvia Federici, Tithi Bhattacharya, Laura Roth and Awino Okech. It will explore the ways the pandemic intersects with patriarchy, corporate power and a global division of labour that is both gendered and racialised. It will ask whether the pandemic can provide a window of opportunity to re-organize and shift power on an unprecedented scale to build radical democratic systems that genuinely care for the environment and our collective well-being.

COVID-19 & the global fight against mass incarceration

 <https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=SwFST6&mc=Ci&s=ZfVbkb&u=Stcs4&z=EwIeSXL&>

The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments to release an unprecedented number of people from prison and curb new admissions to prevent deadly outbreaks in prisons and other detention centres. The pandemic has exposed the societal costs of mass incarceration, while the quick actions taken by governments showed that most of those released should not have been imprisoned in the first place. This includes people charged or convicted with drug-related offences, who have been included in the groups released in a number of countries.



This webinar will cast a look at the drivers of mass incarceration worldwide, sharing analysis on the impact of COVID-19, the negative impacts of imprisonment exposed by the pandemic, and the challenges and opportunities it provides for sustainable reform. It will particularly focus on the role of punitive drug policies in driving prison numbers up. Activists and researchers from different regions will discuss and share strategies by civil society to reverse this long-standing trend of mass incarceration as a response to crime.
