📣Reclaiming Civic Spaces through Digital Empowerment: An Action Session for Global Grassroots Organizing📣 📅 Date: 26 September 2024 ⏰ Time: 15:00 - 17:30 ET | 19:00 - 21:30 UTC 📍 Location: Idealist.org Office, 9th Floor, 389 5th Ave, New York, NY 🖥️ Join us in-person or online: https://lnkd.in/d6vf3BqF Excited to share that Acter and PartnersGlobal will be co-hosting a dynamic panel discussion and networking session at NY Climate Week 2024, together with Climate Action Network International, Youth Meeting for Escazú | ENJUVES & Africans Rising. We have the pleasure and honour to bring together four amazing voices, Melissa Hernández Méndez🇲🇽, Muhammed Lamin Saidykhan🇬🇲, Gabriel R. Concha Caicedo🇨🇱 & Lautaro Ezequiel Carranza🇦🇷. who will speak on transforming how we organize and mobilize, not just for climate action but also on access to information, civic participation & justice. Why this session? Climate activists have ignited a global movement, rallying millions to demand urgent change. But to truly dismantle the systems fueling climate destruction we need to go beyond protests and rallies. Our action session, as part of NY Climate Week, is about revolutionizing how we organize and mobilize. 📣Radical Change Requires Radical Collaboration.  To build movements that can challenge the status quo, we must rethink our strategies, tools, and spaces. It’s not enough to have numbers — we need those numbers to be deeply connected, empowered, and strategic. We need secure, autonomous platforms where activists can come together, plan, and act without fear of surveillance or suppression. 🌍 Securing Space for Civil Society in a Restrictive World. With now only 2% of the world’s population being able to organize without restrictions, it is imperative that we solve this challenge, in order to provide secure physical and digital spaces to  amplify the voices and power of civil society - especially those who bear the brunt of climate impacts. Our discussion session is truly a call to action. It’s about creating the infrastructure for a new wave of activism — one that’s decentralized, resilient, and unstoppable.

What is our role in the fight for liberation? Are we truly committed to dismantling the systems that oppress us? What does it mean to stand united against the ongoing colonization around the world?
