Transversal Strategies and Translocal Solidarities

This short film by Franca Marquardt captures impressions from our 2024 Autumn Gathering, which brought together dozens of activists working in agroecology and climate justice.

How do we build solidarity across borders in the context of ecosystem crises, rising geopolitical tensions, far-right nationalisms, genocide, and state repression? How do we break out of the pressure to limit ourselves to campaigning and consciousness-raising, and actually build power? How do we make connections between territories and struggles, beyond the narrow bounds of single issues, localism, and national politics?

Watch this documentary by Franca Marquardt to get an impression of our beautiful and powerful Autumn Gathering 2024 in Grassina, Italy. From drifts and sessions with the comrades of Mondeggi Bene Comune and other local-regional actors pushing for agroecological territorial transition to many other struggles and allies working for socio-ecological justice across Europe, Lebanon, Palestine, and Ukraine.
