Celebrating Local Successes and Actions Around the World

October 2, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” Toni Cade Bambara

Join us for an online gathering of music and storytelling as we share and inspire one another with local EMF success stories and actions from around the world. In addition to sharing local success stories, we’re inviting people to compose and/or share music and poetry. Art can awaken our collective conscience to the concerns and challenges facing humanity, rather than leaving us susceptible to the current centralized corporate model being foisted on us, and enabled by technology.
 
Music shared can be prerecorded or played live during the online gathering  whatever feels most comfortable. We’re announcing this now to give everyone ample time to create, compose, and rehearse (if needed). 
 
To make this gathering even more special, Helena Norberg-Hodge from LocalFutures.org will be sending a pre-recorded message for EMF campaigners. Helena is encouraging us to join the growing movement of people from around the world who are returning to localization, i.e. decentralized, human-scale living. As with the growing movement toward locally produced foods, technology should be decided at the local level. The current corporate/government alliance should not dictate our collective tech future.
 
If you plan to present either a “Local Success Story or Action” and/or music, please contact us at, team@safetechinternational.org so we can arrange timing for presentations, and assist with video or slides as needed. 
 
HELENA NORBERG-HODGE, a pioneer of the new economy movement, is the founder and director of the international non-profit organisation, Local Futures, and the convenor of World Localization Day. She is author of the inspirational classic Ancient Futures, and Local is Our Future and producer of the award-winning documentary The Economics of Happiness. She is the founder of the International Alliance for Localisation, and a cofounder of the International Forum on Globalization and the Global Ecovillage Network.
Helena is a recipient of the Alternative Nobel prize, the Arthur Morgan Award and the Goi Peace Prize for contributing to “the revitalization of cultural and biological diversity, and the strengthening of local communities and economies worldwide.”
