We live on a bountiful planet filled with extraordinary human beings but facing some truly existential crises – COVID, climate change and environmental destruction, virulent poverty and inequality, rampant racism and sexism, and widespread war and conflict, to name some. These crises are systemic, built into structures of capitalism, patriarchy, racism, ableism, and more. But this is not a time for despair, this is a time for alternatives! Contrary to Margaret Thatcher’s TINA, There is No Alternative, David Bollier coined the acronym TAPAS, There are Plenty of Alternatives. In this webinar, we at The Alternatives Project bring together five other organizations to share, celebrate, and discuss their outstanding work in examining, fostering, and enhancing global efforts to find education, social, economic, and political alternatives to transform dysfunctional and destructive existing systems.
