The world is in crisis and many people think we've gone past the tipping point and the planet is doomed. However, there are those who have hope and faith in science that some can survive the polycrisis and get to live in a sustainable society and planet. But there's a problem... **There's no clear vision of what a sustainable society and planet should be**, and without that destination, how can we set out on the journey to get there? Please join like-minded people to discuss this. We'll agree an agenda at the start of the meeting. Bring an open mind, suggestions and perhaps a pad of paper. **Here are some topics to be covered.** Please use the comments/chat to suggest other areas for consideration *Depending on the mood of attendees, the frequency of further meetups can be agreed.* **WHAT DO WE WANT A SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY AND PLANET TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE?** · A planet with clean atmosphere, oceans and soil with systems in place to keep them that way · The abolition of poverty and hunger · Equality of opportunity for all to achieve a peaceful and contented life without fear of physical or other violence · Access to healthcare, hygiene and sanitation for all · Access to quality education for all · A more responsible system of financial structures which embraces the best of co-operative production, capitalism and other systems · A safe justice system for all · Societies which respect for the diversity of opinion, ethnicity, sexuality, religion · Respect for the natural resources and fragility of Planet Earth and their finite capacity · Societies where the more fortunate, stronger and healthier help those less strong, less fortunate or less healthy. · Peaceful co-existence between the varying communities of the planet **What Freedoms ?** · Freedom to travel anywhere · Freedom to worship (should there be limitation such as worship should not be based on destroying the existing system…??) · Freedom from violence · Freedom from hate · Freedom from poverty (how define?) · Freedom of speech · Freedom from anxiety about the future · Freedom from concentration of power · Freedom to preserve culture and arts · Freedom to make decisions about one’s body · Freedom to seek representation and to represent others · Freedom to be different · Freedom to be heard

More and more conversations about society are filled with nostalgia and rumination about the past; factions on the right talk about "nativism," while voices on the left demand "decolonisation". They seem like opposite ideas but have one big point in common: both believe that our identity depends on our ethnic roots, our ancestry, where we're originally from. But by focusing so much on a romanticised history, are we dividing the people who live together right now? Should our background still define who we are, or does building a shared future (and present!) together matter more? 1. **The Left-Right Paradox:** Why do both decolonization and nativism trap us in the exact same ancestral boxes? 2. **Divided by the Past:** Does ruminating on our origins stop us from building a united community today? 3. **Beyond Heritage:** In a modern world, should our ancestry matter when deciding who we are, or how we treat each other? *Join a room of international minds, creative professionals, and cosmopolitans for our weekly late-night conversation lounge. We skip the small talk to dive directly into the gray areas of relationships, modern culture, and society.* *Come for the perspective. Stay for the connections.* **🍸 THE VIBE** * **Curated Conversations:** Sharp, spicy, and unfiltered topics. We tackle everything from cultural identity to institutional trust - we focus on personal philosophies and lived experiences rather than rigid point-scoring. * **Cinematic Backdrop:** Hosted in the moody lounge of Curzon Aldgate, perfect for late-night cocktails and deep chat. * **Fluid Mingling:** An organic mix of curated group discussions, then unstructured socializing over drinks. * **A Global Collective:** Connect with international graduates, London's creatives, open-minded travelers, etc. **🕒 THE RUN SHEET** * **19:30 – 20:00 \| The Warm Up:** Arrive, grab a cocktail, and settle into the lounge space. * **20:00 – 21:30 \| The Hot Takes:** We move into our hosted conversation circles. We rotate groups so you meet everyone. * **21:30 – Late \| The After\-chat:** The lounge bar stays open for late-night mingling and drinks. **📜 HOUSE RULES** 1. **Challenge Ideas, Not People:** We love strong opinions, lightly held.

Leave your monologues at home. 3. **Be Present:** Put the phones away during the conversation circles. 4. **Open Minds Only:** Bring your cultural background, leave your judgment at the door. **📍 THE DETAILS** * **Where:** The Lounge Bar at Curzon Aldgate, 2 Canter Way, E1 8PS. * **Entry:** Free entry.

In our next book club, we ‘re discussing **“Talking to My Daughter About the Economy”** by *Yanis Varoufakis*, a clear and accessible book that explains how the economy works, why inequality exists, and how power and money shape our lives—using stories rather than technical theory. **POTENTIAL DISCUSSION POINTS:** * Varoufakis describes early economies where money and debt served stability and obligation, and **profit was a by-product rather than a goal**. Do you agree with his account, and do you think modern capitalism has turned profit into an end in itself? * Varoufakis argues that inequality stems from power and control over money and resources, not merely from hard work or talent—**but can any economic system truly overcome it?** * Varoufakis suggests **AI could make the economy vastly more productive**—but in a system built around profit and power, these gains often go to a few while many lose security. **Would the benefits generated by AI will ultimately outweigh its social and economic drawbacks?** *** **RECOMMENDED READING:** We recommend the below resources— but it's not obligatory. Come with your thoughts, experiences, and opinions; that's all you need. * **Buy the book from Amazon or listen to the audiobook** [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Talking-Daughter-About-Economy-Capitalism/dp/1847924441](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Talking-Daughter-About-Economy-Capitalism/dp/1847924441) * **Download the PDF book for free** [https://pdfcoffee.com/talking-to-my-daughter-about-the-economy-yanis-varoufakis-pdf-free.html](https://pdfcoffee.com/talking-to-my-daughter-about-the-economy-yanis-varoufakis-pdf-free.html) * **Listen to the Audio book for free** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwMwGVgKkwc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwMwGVgKkwc) * **Watch a lecture by the author about the book topic** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0M24CEEMFk&t=2106s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0M24CEEMFk&t=2106s) *** **GROUND RULES:** This is a gentle, but thought-provoking, discussion. It's a judgement-free zone where people can air their thoughts on particular issues, and discover other people's similar and different perspectives. So bring your best opinions and ideas. Everyone is welcome. **LOCATION:** We will meet in the 1st floor area of Coffee Island Edgware Road.

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
