upcoming events: bottom-up political and community action and toppling tyranny
How To Do It – Creating Bottom up Political Participation
9-10th April 2016, London
From citizen engagement to radical collective action, the focus of the event is how ‘ordinary’ people can come together to collectively act upon and change their environment.
The challenge is to create determined and conscious collective action, which can be effective, shared and scaled up.
This event seeks to generate and share concrete knowledge of how bottom up radical political participation can succeed.
