to pay for medical or whatever they're not there as much if we want active engaged citizens we have to make it so that everyone can be active and engaged in that way the right economic security makes a huge amount of difference if you're not worrying whether you're heating your house or feeding yourself you have the ability then to be able to start thinking more outside of yourself and your immediate family but i do think storytelling is really really important we have been told a story that people are selfish that we don't care about each other and that even like white working class people in britain really don't care about people in the global size and i tell them a story in lancashire where i grew up where during the american civil war langston yorkshire had cotton factories they used to bring the cotton of calls from the slave plantations in the caribbean and from the site and during the civil war there was an embargo and so there was no cotton coming through the talk about

a cotton farm in the u.k. with calm factory workers left destitute the merchants of liverpool clubbed together to buy war ship to break the embargo to get cotton or over to the u.k. and when it came to the u.k. and it came to the bills workers in the u.k. refused to handle that cotton they said we have more in common a more in solidarity with the slaves in the in the u.s. and in the caribbean than with the middle allness and those kind of stories to tell was that actually solidarity isn't something new right and i think there are lots of stories that we've need to begin to tell because there are alternatives often what we need is solidarity in the global north because it's your corporations your banks your multinationals that are repressing us so the one thing that we can do is of course shop less but also take action against our banks on our our political system. and

a lot of these sites and flowers to bloom right and to allow them to grow and then be able to weave more stories because if we can't describe the world we want how do we expect people to go along with us yeah thank you for your question here i think final thought for me the future that we want to have is still very much up for grabs and so it's very easy to feel apathetic and that's one of the things that happens during the climate crisis is that there's a sense of like you know something you could. do whatever you want but in actuality we still have the window of opportunity so leg don't lean into apathy but my final thought is we there is a window of opportunity if you look at the fact that we face a multiple crises this recession is going to be more profound that the 2 sides in a night financial crisis there is going to be a real debate about what comes next is it going to be disaster capitalism or is it going to be something different and i think shore many people's eyes have been

opened up because of cold feet about what they feel is important they're asking questions what is our economy for what is our society for in this moment if we have a truly global green util a radical vision of a fair and just world i think we can fight we can win it but it is the clock is ticking it's a decade it's after this decade we will be talking about how much of the world we're willing to sacrifice thank you. great.
