It is the urgent task of those who believe in equality, democracy, nonviolence and sustainability to redouble our efforts to see these principles embodied.

A new chapter! 5 years after Doughnut Economics came out, I've added an action-packed Afterword on what we're learning about turning new economics into action. And in the spirit of the commons, it's free in the commons. Read, share, inspire, let's go.

Great news for GB. The new #BSLAct does not extend to Northern Ireland. Look fwd to seeing the commitment to #SignLanguage legislation in NI being delivered in next #Stormont mandate & examining the detail of that in due course.

6,400. That’s how many people Brazilian police killed in 2020 – the highest ever recorded.
Nearly 80 percent of those killed are Black.

I really don't understand why Jim Allister, with 1 MLA, got a leader's interview on The View and @ClareBaileyGPNI, with 2 MLAs, is being denied one. Doesn't seem fair @BBCNewsNI

Great to see that QCAP @QUBelfast supports a CWB approach. Hoping that this will result in QUB becoming the first University here to accredit as a real #LivingWage employer. All the Welsh Unis are accredited. Now that's a great way to tackle disadvantage.@LivingWageUK @AdviceNI
Queen’s Communities and Place (QCAP) works in partnership to find better solutions for tackling disadvantage, and includes a #CommunityWealthBuilding approach.
