The UN just held its first World Social Summit in 30 years, and the world barely noticed.

As aid cuts deepen and private interests tighten their grip, #PublicServices, the engines of equality, are being starved.

It’s not every day a millionaire calls billionaires a moral failure of society.

But that’s exactly what Joao Paulo did on EQUALS. He’s challenging the quiet assumption that extreme wealth is harmless.

Thank you @equalshope.bsky.social for having me on your podcast.

I enjoyed talking about the @wealdactiongroup.bsky.social court win and whether it could halt new fossil fuels in the UK.

We will find that out when the govt decides on the Rosebank oil field.

Listen to Sarah Finch talk about how we made history in the Supreme Court, forcing fossil fuel companies to face the full climate impact of their projects.

Our win is now facing its biggest test: Rosebank. The govt must reject this climate-wrecking project once and for all

In his latest blog, @maxlawsontin.bsky.social asks a candid but uncomfortable question:

“𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐭?”

Domestic work, still mostly done by women & underpaid immigrant workers exposes just how unequal our societies are.

A person in the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than someone in the bottom 50% produces all year.

Same pollution. Different worlds.
But only one pays the price.

"We’re asking: How are inequality, climate breakdown and growth linked? Why is green growth an impossibility? If rich nations must stop growing, what does this mean for developing countries?"
