Coming up: 2073 screening at London's Prince Charles Cinema
Join us for a special screening of '2073' and Q&A with Director Asif Kapadia, The Citizens' Carole Cadwalladr and Byline Time's Peter Jukes.
Media outlets around the world have suddenly woken up to the unjust power of Elon Musk and other broligarchs, and their sway over politics. But snappy, clickbait headlines are not enough.
What we need more than ever is community and alternative information spaces that help us build resistance and challenge the concentration of state and tech power. This is where the Citizens come in.
This is why for years we have invested in new ways of storytelling, policy-oriented campaigns and now, community building events and workshops.
As part of this effort, we launched the first set of workshops last week: Beyond your bubble: How to communicate progressive ideas in a polarised world. And the feedback from you was immediate and astonishing. All three workshops were sold out within hours. It just goes to show the spirit of this community in wanting to further progressive causes and fighting the power of Big Tech. We hear that and are therefore planning a much bigger workshop to involve more of you. We will keep you posted.
Meanwhile, if you are interested in understanding the issues at the heart of technology and politics intersecting in our increasingly authoritarian world, we would love to have you at a special screening of 2073, which we are hosting with our friends at Byline Times. The Citizens is the impact partner for the film.
This screening is a paid event. All the money that comes from it will go back into the impact campaign for the film, and enable us to do more screenings and free events and grow the movement across the world.
