L'Evénement

At 17.00 UTC [19.00 CEST] on 15 May, we are kicking off the PI Forum with its inaugural event featuring five members of the PI Council: Prime Minister of Iceland Katrín Jakobsdóttir; Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate; Greek MP and DiEM25 co-founder Yanis Varoufakis; Guatemalan human rights & tech lawyer Renata Ávila; and writer and political analyst Nanjala Nyabola from Kenya.

At this historic juncture, we face a clear choice — a choice that PI Council member Noam Chomsky has described as “Internationalism or Extinction.” Either we bind our local struggles at the planetary scale. Or we surrender to an authoritarian capitalism that is grinding our species to extinction.
