So Now What?

An outline proposal for “a movement ecology, in the time of collapse and rising fascism,” which includes a detailed and compassionate reflection of the current context and its roots. We are encouraged to look “beyond frenetic action, which often targets, ineffectively, a multitude of symptoms, towards the possibility of enough collaboration and enough shared direction, focussed on addressing causes,” so that we might “sow seeds to support a profound transformation, over time.” This will involve developing community agency through preparation, recognising that “no one is going to save us, we need to prepare together”, and orienting toward a ‘third attractor’ – “a different and better way of being together”. Bradbrook offers ten suggestions of “what needs figuring out together” to build a “collective immune response”, and three opportunities to connect.
