Global Justice Now Supporters Events

Join one of our two national events in the coming months

25 March

Resisting Monopoly Capitalism

On Saturday 25 March at SOAS in London we’ll be holding what we hope will be a significant activist conference on extreme corporate power on a planet in crisis. Multinational corporations have grown wealthy by monopolising the resources we need to live a dignified life. These leviathans set the rules of the game, triggering a race to the bottom in terms of workers’ rights and environmental protection. But the movement against monopolies is growing, and we’ll be joined by speakers at the forefront of this fight, including:

Parminder Jeet Singh, IT for Change, India

Julia Kosgei, People’s Vaccine Alliance, Kenya

Aurélie Trouvé, French MP, parliamentary chair of NUPES

Michelle Meagher, Balanced Economy Project

Anthony Barnett, founder, Open Democracy

Nicholas Shaxson, author, Treasure Islands and more to be announced

Join us to discuss what monopoly capitalism is and look at the problems it poses to our food system, medicine production and communications, as well its implications for war and climate change. And importantly, we’ll talk about how we bring these corporations to heel. Book your place at: globaljustice.org.uk/monopolies

3 June

Global Justice Now's AGM

Global Justice Now members should have received a notice about our annual general meeting with this issue of Ninety-Nine. We’re holding the AGM on Saturday 3 June this year, but returning to running it online. This might not be a permanent change, but there has been demand from members to access the AGM online, and it certainly makes this important part of our governance more accessible to those who can’t travel. It also allows us more flexibility with the structure and timing of our annual conference and other events.
