In this webinar, Local Futures’ Director, Helena Norberg-Hodge, is joined by Nigerian poet, author and activist Bayo Akomolafe for a lively and challenging conversation about activism today.

As our global crises deepen, many are coming to question activism altogether. Widespread assumptions undermine meaningful action: it is believed that people are greedy and aggressive by nature, that they don’t incorporate new information into their thinking, and that they are simply unwilling to change. Helena and Bayo discuss these and other assumptions, and explore new directions that can help us resist the corporate-led consumer-culture while renewing local economies and our deep connections to others and to nature.

We questioned these assumptions, and explored new and creative directions that can help us resist the corporate-led consumer-culture while renewing local economies and our deep connections to others and to nature. We addressed the need for both inner and outer change – avoiding self-righteousness while caring for ourselves to avoid burn-out. We looked at “big picture activism” as a strategic way forward – a means to forge a powerful movement for fundamental change.

Presenters:
Adebayo Clement-Akomolafe, Ph.D (Nigeria) describes himself as a ‘recovering professor’, and is the Initiating/Coordinating Curator of The Emergence Network as well as Lecturer at Covenant University, Nigeria. The host of the online writing course, ‘We will dance with Mountains: Writing as a Tool for Emergence.’ Bayo is globally recognized for his poetic, unconventional, counterintuitive, and indigenous take on global crisis, civic action and social change.

Helena Norberg-Hodge (Australia) is the founder and director of Local Futures/ISEC. A pioneer of the ‘new economy’ movement, she has been promoting an economics of personal, social and ecological well-being for more than thirty years. She is the producer and co-director of the award-winning documentary The Economics of Happiness, and the author of Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh and Local is Our Future.

http://democracynow.org - The United Nations is warning the risk of mass starvation is rapidly rising in Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia and South Sudan. This comes as the U.S. escalates its involvement in the Saudi-led war on Yemen. We speak to Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, a campaign to end U.S. military and economic warfare. She and over a dozen other peace activists recently held a week-long vigil and fast in front of the United Nations to protest the ongoing U.S. support for the Saudi bombing of Yemen and the Saudi blockade of Yemeni ports.

From Trash to Fasion: Nigerian Teen Activists Answer to Plastic Recycling
INTERNATIONAL: A 15-year-old climate change activist Esohe Ozigbo struts a catwalk in an outfit made from discarded poly bags. Plastic waste is ubiquitous in the megacity, the commercial capital of Africa's most populous country with a population of more than 20 million people, where dropping litter is commonplace. To reinforce their message about the extent of the waste in Lagos, Ozigbo and her fellow activists attach plastic to fabric to create garments they wear in their annual "Trashion Show".

Ozigbo says, "The Trashion Show means a lot to me, I have been doing it for years and it is like a way of showcasing to everyone what we can do with the trash we so carelessly discard, and I really think it is like us making a statement and showing that we care about the environment and you should too, because we are just teenagers but we are trying to like make a change in the world."

A not-for-profit conservation group funded by donations Green Fingers Garden, works with young people to stage the shows in shopping malls.

The organisation’s founder Chinedu Mogbo says, "So we felt why not mix creativity with advocacy and that was why we actually went out with this. The students are the ones…together we went out, we picked up the plastics; we cleaned the environment. But rather than just taking everything maybe to a dumping site or so, we felt we get creative with it, so we decided to spruce things up and start the Trashion Show.''

Recently Ozigbo and her group waded through a mass of plastic bottles, food containers and bags that have blocked a waterway. Wearing gloves and masks, they pick up the discarded plastic and drop them into refuse bags. Their aim is to enable water to flow around the waterway in the city's Sangotedo district that was constructed to prevent flooding, while raising awareness of the problems caused by single use plastic.

Ozigbo has added, "We are the generation who are going to be like leading in a few years, and like the older people at the end of the day they will end up leaving this earth and we will be the ones left with it, so we need to start now because in a few years it is going to be too late to do anything.''

Ozigbo, who cites Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg as her inspiration, said she hoped the shows made shoppers think about their actions. She says that they are just teenagers but they are trying to make a change in the world as other young environmentally-conscious Nigerians may have already lost hope.

Photographer Abdulrasaq Babalola created a series of concept images about single-use plastic in 2019. He says, "I did this project in 2019 and since then nothing has really changed, nothing, let's be honest with ourselves nothing has really changed and if we don't restore the earth right now, the negative effect it is going to have on us, we won't be able to handle it."

Ozigbo and her counterparts don't intend to ever give up, whether they have to get down and dirty or "clean up nice" for the cause.

Nigeria is one of the 76 countries that criminalise homosexuality with the harshest penalties of up to 14 years imprisonment and death in the northern parts of the country.
Since this toxic law was passed in 2014, suspected LGBTI people face homelessness, evictions, public whipping, mob attacks, loss of employments, denial to access healthcare services which is a critical situation especially for people with HIV.
This insidious law is against the articles 42 of Nigerian constitution, and 2, 3 and 5 of African Human Rights Charter and other international equality laws.

DemocracyNow.org - We're joined from the Rio+20 Earth Summit in Rio by Nnimmo Bassey, executive director of Environmental Rights Action in Nigeria, chair of Friends of the Earth International. "The leaders came to Rio with clearly very low ambitions, probably with the desire to block grievances on any issue that would not be of particular benefit to them or their countries," Bassey says. "They've come up with a draft agreement that is shallow, that is hollow, that doesn't describe or deal with the root causes of the multiple crises that the world is confronted with right now."
