The year 2020 has caused many white people to realize we live in a racist system. The Green New Deal is about systemic change for all, and deconstructing racism must be front and central in this agenda.

If you’ve been to Bilderberg, chances are you’re a fan of austerity: promoting it, demanding it, implementing it and profiting from it.
Behind the words of central bankers, finance ministers and other technocrats, we're able to see countries collapse, governments overthrown, populations impoverished, societies destroyed, fascism and racism explode, and people rebel.
Here's why the favored policies of bankers frequently become the implemented policies of states.
Given that Bilderberg represents the interests of some of the largest and most powerful banks and financial institutions in the world, the meetings provide a forum where "financial markets" are duly given a powerful voice.
Attending Bilderberg is not a guarantee for holding high office – but it can often support a rapid rise to state power for politicians who impress the members and guests at the annual meetings.
They meet behind closed doors, at five-star hotels, away from the prying eyes of the public.
In the 80s and 90s they called them "IMF Riots" – but what the biggest international investment organizations and consultants now see happening looks a whole lot bigger.
The banks that are now bigger, more dangerous and more powerful than ever are raising growing concerns about the unrest and resistance of populations – especially the global youth.
Oligarchic interests represented at the World Economic Forum have recently taken keen interest in the potential for social upheaval as a result of mass inequality, global youth unemployment and poverty.
As long as inequality increases, so will instability. Resistance, and even revolution, are the new global reality.
The year 2020 has caused many white people to realize we live in a racist system. The Green New Deal is about systemic change for all, and deconstructing racism must be front and central in this agenda.
By infecting three of the world’s most right-wing leaders, the coronavirus underscored not only the incompetence and irresponsibility of their governments – but the truth that their brand of populism doesn't keep people safe.
Corporations are not "too big to fail" and, when they commit crimes, they are not "too big to jail." As David Whyte writes in his new book, "Ecocide: Kill the Corporation Before It Kills Us," the moment is now to rein in out-of-control corporate power.
The world has lost an incredible thinker and doer. I have lost an amazing friend. A void exists where before it was filled with David's optimism, humour and joy.
Kevin fought to bring truth every day. We must not lose this struggle.
