What we’re about
Atlas is a global political movement that wants to create a worldwide political party that will run for office, democratically, everywhere, and unite humanity with a system of global democratic governance that supports and protects democracy, human rights, the basic economic welfare of everyone and the environment.
It is the global political movement uniting humanity for its survival.
Climate change, artificial intelligence, wars, dictatorship, pandemics, and poverty all have the potential to destroy humanity unless they are tackled fast, everywhere.
This meetup group has been established to create a forum where people can find out for themselves about Atlas' goals and decide for themselves if they would like to join and contribute.

Event Description:
A short presentation on some key themes of national and global politics, such as rising living costs, inequality, warfare and climate change, followed by a discussion session. The possible policy solutions the Atlas movement is currently considering will be also discussed, but will only be a part of the discussion. The main goal of the event is to explore the issues the world faces today, and consider some possible solutions. Policies discussed at the event will include Universal Basic Income (UBI), reforming the UN, building a democratic system of global governance, policy interventions to address inequality and rising living costs, and other policies.
Who might be interested:
This event is for anyone concerned with exploring new solutions to the the problems Australia and the world face, and will particularly appeal to people who see a connection between the local and the global and believe we must include a global perspective in developing political polices. If you become interested in taking action through Atlas its also a chance to meet some local Atlas members.
