Hi John,
I'm excited to announce a new project this spring - an event to galvanise the fight against the the small number of corporations which are increasingly dominating all life and livelihoods on earth. We'd love for you to be there.

Multinational corporations have grown wealthy by monopolising the resources we need to live a dignified life – whether it’s the food we eat, the medicines we need to treat ourselves or the technology which increasingly underlies our day-to-day lives.
These leviathans set the rules of the game, forcing countries to compete with each other. This triggers not only a race to the bottom in terms of workers’ rights and environmental protection, but also leads the way to potentially devastating international conflict.
As such, monopoly capitalism needs to be confronted on an international basis, as well as at the level of the nation state. The movement against monopolies is growing. Only by taxing and regulating, breaking up and taking over these private monoliths can we hope to reclaim our democracy, reverse inequality and leave a habitable planet for future generations.
Join Global Justice Now and allies to discuss what monopoly capitalism is and look at the problems it poses to our food system, medicine production and communications, as well its implications for war and climate change. And we’ll look at how we bring these corporations to heel.

We've brought together this event in a relatively short time so we'll be announcing the venue soon, but it will be accessible and in the central London area. Lunch will be provided on a suggested donation basis. We also have a modest fund to subsidise childcare to help parents to attend. Please email me if you'd like to make use of this. We may also be able to make some conference content available online - details to follow.
I'm really looking forward to what I think will be a significant conference, and hope you can be there.
