Resisting Big Tech Empires organised by Balanced Economy Project partners with Global Justice Now

From the website:

The technology that underpins nearly every aspect of our lives is controlled by a tiny handful of corporations. These big tech empires surveil and monetise our every move, lock us into their platforms, and use their power to bully governments and shape the world to their advantage. In their search for profit they’re fuelling division and advancing the far right globally, facilitating a vast transfer of wealth upwards, intensifying automated warfare, and accelerating environmental destruction. Yet they still pose as the visionaries of the future.

There is much that is unprecedented about the technological revolution currently unfolding. At the same time it echoes older histories of enclosure and dispossession, now unfolding at exponential speed and scale. But the future does not have to belong to unaccountable tech monopolies. By challenging corporate power, democratising digital infrastructure, and putting human and planetary needs before profit, we can reclaim technology as a public good and build a better future for everyone.

Join us to the Global Sumud Parliamentary Congress: Dismantling Colonial Apartheid: From International Law to Palestinian Liberation

Join us to support the Sumud Flotilla Barcelona launch on April 12!

Event description:

In response to a direct call from Palestinians in Gaza, the Global Sumud Flotilla is preparing to sail again this spring with thousands of participants, more than a hundred boats, and expanded goals.

This mission not only aims to break the siege and deliver life-saving humanitarian aid, but also to establish a sustained civilian presence. Teams of doctors, nurses, teachers, eco-builders, unarmed civilian protectors, and others will disembark to work alongside the Palestinian people as they continue to endure the Israeli regime's ongoing attacks and begin rebuilding healthcare systems and basic infrastructure destroyed over the past two years.

NOTA joins the People’s Congress for the Hague Group in Amsterdam.

“To close every port, to stop every shipment, to prosecute every criminal — we need political will to meet people's power.

That is why, on the first anniversary of The Hague Group's formation, popular forces from across the world — unions and movements, parties and parliamentarians — return to its birthplace for this historic People's Congress.

Together, we will forge a common plan to end the Nakba — across courts, ports, contracts, and beyond.”
