Wed January 25th 7.30 pm.
To a packed audience (35) in the Stones Room at RISC we screened the short film, ‘BOOMERANG: How the legacies of empire are breaking Britain’s economy’. ‘BOOMERANG’ examines how an honest reckoning with the legacies of empire can help us understand and address the roots of our current crises to finally create an economy that works for all. There followed an animated discussion, with some new attendees sharing their views.
Campaigning stalls Summer 2022
We have had stalls at Beanpole Day, Waterfest, Winnersh Fete, East Reading Festival and Earley Green Fair this year. We are campaigning for the temporary suspension of monopolies over Covid-19 vaccines, tests and treatments so that countries in the global south can have access to the vaccine at reasonable prices.
‘Turn Debt into Climate Action’ Film and Discussion
Rich nations owe climate debt to poorer nations for the devastating impacts of their use of fossil fuels over centuries. Poor countries owe financial debts to rich nations. Should we cancel both climate and financial debts, so poorer nations can have money to take effective climate action?
28th September 7.30 pm at RISC
A diverse and enthusiastic group met at RISC to watch two short films and engage in animated discussion. There was an interesting mix of new members and stalwart members. A very successful evening led by Jackie with technical help from Shynee.
