Our Common Social Future / 8 juni - 10 juni 2018

Commoning and sharing for society, the environment and the economy. A programme for a democratic, participatory and transformative social protection.

Social justice is at the centre of all our concerns and of all our efforts to work for another world. Democracy is not possible if people do not have the feeling they have equal worth, they can have their voices heard, they can take part in decision-making with the same capacities as all others. It is not just about formal equality but about real equality through social and economic citizenship and just taxes in order to fight inequality. This is even more important since the level of inequality continues to grow.
