We know that only bold, transformative ideas can offer the solutions we need, yet here in the UK, with an 80-seat Tory majority and a total absence of bold leadership from the opposition, it’s up to us to forge a path toward and organise and win a World Transformed.
After 18 months of isolation and fragmentation, at TWT21 our movement will be coming together to rebuild power from the ground up.
Join us for this special online event to look ahead to this year's festival and to hear from inspiring speakers about our collective struggles going forward.

At the same time, the sudden and devastating defeat at the last election not only meant a huge setback for our movement, it also exposed limitations and weaknesses within the project itself. The last year and a half has seen much intense, and sometimes fraught, debate online about what we have learnt and what went wrong. This opening event for the TWT21, will be a first big opportunity to discuss and debate in person and hear from key figures involved in the project.

The union fights against outsourcing and for rights in the gig economy. They are known for bold campaigning, grassroots organising, and being entirely member-led. In this interactive workshop they will be getting back to the basics of organising. This means taking seriously how power is built from the workplace, mapping and having organising conversations. The activities will help you to better understand what a trade union is, how you can organise in your workplace or industry, and how you have the power to bring about real, democratic, collective change!

The same economic rules fuelling vaccine inequality are also expanding the power of gigantic agricultural and big tech corporations over our lives, as well as preventing us dealing with climate change.

With few routes to asylum, refugees must make treacherous journeys to reach our shores. Once here, they’re forced to live in poverty and treated as subhuman. All the while the threat of deportation hangs over migrants’ heads. But resistance is growing. From activists monitoring human rights abuses in the channel, to protesters preventing deportations, people are fighting back against this inhumane system. This session platforms these struggles and looks ahead at resisting forthcoming legislation. Attendees are encouraged to join the anti-deportation demo straight after this session.

We know that these crises not only overlap, but share the same cause.
While no one can escape the impacts of the climate crisis, those who have done least to cause them suffer the most. Across the world, the poorest people and communities of colour are too often those bearing the brunt. From coastal villages in Norfolk whose sea-defences are eroding faster than ever, to people living by the Niger Delta rivers blackened by oil spillage.
To solve these problems, we have to solve them all together. Climate justice recognises that all of our struggles lead back to the same unjust system. Whether we are fighting for better pay at work, for clean water, or against police violence or the opening of a new mine. For control over our bodies or to stop the destruction of forests we live in. We need climate action that works for all of us, not just the people with the most money in their pocket.
In this session, we will hear from activists and leaders from across the labour movement and debate some of the most pressing issues facing workers and our communities. The second session will be interactive and we will break into small groups to plot and plan together so we can take action for climate justice in the run up to the UN Climate Talks that are taking place in Glasgow in November 2021.

From Preston to Islington, North of Tyne, Wirral and North Ayrshire, community wealth is a correction to an economy based on trickle down, rentierism, wealth and fossil fuel extraction. The practical actions associated with community wealth building are developing jobs, improving wages and giving many more people a genuine democratic stake in the economy, through greater asset ownership. However, there is still much to do.
In this session, the Democracy Collaborative - who have been at the vanguard of advancing the movement in USA and across the globe- are joined by 4 leading lights in community wealth building. They will give their thoughts on their own bespoke progress to date, but importantly think toward the future, so we advance the movement even further and truly deliver community wealth for all.

This panel will explore the legacy of the Labour Party’s relationship to the repressive apparatus of the Carceral State - from Blair’s indefinite detention of terror suspects to Corbyn’s ‘more Bobbies on the beat’ rhetoric - and ask: how must the left respond to current Labour discourse around being ‘tough on crime’? What’s the appropriate position to take now that Britain’s former ‘top cop’ is leading the Labour Party? And what would it even mean for the Left to be in charge of the military or intelligence services?

To what extent does Welsh independence take account of the country’s race, class, regional and other diversity? And amidst all of this, does the longstanding association of Wales with the Labour party and with socialism remain secure, or does it obscure the extent to which this tradition is breaking down and being replaced by other left political currents.

But the extreme right has always had an ecological agenda: it mythologises the land and seeks to return human society to a "natural" state in which women, ethnic minorities and LGBTQ people are subservient. In its most extreme form as in the works of Finnish ecofascist Pentti Linkola, the far right advocates saving the earth by killing billions of people in the global south. In this session we discuss how to identify and counter ecofascism, and why climate catastrophe has become the central premise of those trying to kickstart a global ethnic civil war

Inspired by Fehinti Balogun’s experiences in environmental activism, Can I Live? is a specially filmed performance prompting an urgent conversation about the lack of representation at the heart of the British climate movement. Balogun (I May Destroy You, Walden) is an actor, writer and activist, and now delivers his energising exploration of where the climate emergency and social justice meet. Using hip-hop, spoken word and theatre, it is a call-to-arms to anyone who may have felt excluded from activism or anyone curious about how to get involved. Telling the personal story of Fehinti’s own journey into climate activism, and featuring a cast of his own family, Can I Live? demystifies activism and empowers the audience, passing them the baton.

Check out our interview with Fehinti on TWT TV at 4:30pm on Tuesday 28th September.
Complicité is an international touring theatre company based in London, led by Artistic Director and Co-founder Simon McBurney.
