    Default 6 Billion Ways to change the world

    http://www.6billionways.org.uk/about/

    Any vegans going to this?

    "Every day seems to bring a new crisis: financial markets in turmoil, energy price rises, food riots, violent conflicts and environmental disasters. And whatever the disaster, poor and marginalised people are always affected the most.

    [Women from Brazil's landless movement protest against the expansion of industrial sugar-cane plantations]

    It doesn't have to be this way. Every person on the planet can make change happen.

    6 Billion Ways is a day where the arts meet ideas, discussion and action to explore the causes and find solutions to these interlinked global crises.

    Including discussions on: the financial crisis and economic alternatives, conflict and liberation in Palestine and Iraq, climate catastrophe and building a green new deal, the future of feminism, the impact of Obama on race politics, when resistance is successful and how to change consumer culture.

    With international speakers, films, music, and a chance to learn and practise new skills, 6 Billion Ways is your chance to get inspired and join local and global networks building a better world."

    It looks really interesting! I wish I could be there ... of course, I'd want to get up on the stage and re-direct the discussion all the time ... ;-)

    ^ Good luck. I'm no public speaker myself

    I might try and get down, looks like a good place to promote veganism.

    Are there no animal rights speakers there?

    It would be good if Earthlings and Sharkwater were screened with the films.
