Whether you’re leading the way, happily getting down to it or being dragged ahead kicking and screaming, society is changing and we’re all on the ride. Now’s the time for us to suss out what it takes to work, travel, grow, care and live in a way that supports rather than harms the planet we’re a part of.
It’s big. And it needs big, back. So we’ve turned this issue of Strike over to change; with stories of positive action, bright ideas and movements that open our eyes to what’s possible.
Author Ben Okri challenges us to become a new species, even if we’re scared; the undercover activists among us are compelling big business to be open to disruption; and law firms with a fresh take are forcing accountability on the biggest companies, taking them to court over environmental damage.
Guest writers, Hannah Pearce and Poppy Wonnacott, share the stories inspired by their time at Goodfest 2023, from releasing their inner playtivists to the merits of forest bathing. While over in our regular Strike features, with writer and publisher Tom Conaghan sharing the songs he definitely wouldn’t write to in All Work No Playlist? and photographer Lily Bertrand-Webb talking light, film and sound, in How I See It.
