There Is No Them, Just Us: Ending the system of poverty for us all
Overview
The world’s progress in overcoming poverty has always been fragile, and it risks going backwards in the face of crises unless we act to tackle the systemic nature of poverty. This means tackling structural injustices, but also power imbalances and the capture of politics, knowledge and narratives.
In place of this system of poverty, we need to imagine, collaborate, experiment and convene to find a new system based on justice and regeneration. One of the tightest shackles holding us back from this endeavour is the notion of ‘us’ and ‘them’, which destroys the global solidarity we need.
