The Activism Circle of the International Degrowth Network (IDN) is inviting you to participate in this year's Global Degrowth Day by organizing a public action or event in your area, preferably on June 20 or whenever more convenient for you close to that date.
The invitation for delocalized actions is open to groups, organizations, collectives, movements, or individuals who wish to connect with their local communities and needs, as well as initiatives worldwide.
Examples of actions/events:
- Host a discussion on the socio-ecological impacts of endless economic growth manifested in privatization of natural resources in your area.
- Organize a demonstration for a local social or environmental struggle, voicing your demands to municipalities and governments. - Host a workshop on degrowth and its intersection with a topic of interest.
- Facilitate a gathering to discuss a pressing issue in your local context from a critical perspective and co-design actions for local advocacy.
- Or simply gather up for a picnic and conviviality.
Everything goes!
