.

One of the silver linings in this terrible pandemic has been the
enthusiastic support for public services that it has generated. Even
right-wing governments are being forced to put public needs above private
profit, taking steps that would have been unimaginable just a couple of
months ago. But how do we ensure this shift becomes permanent?

It will of course depend on the political power we can mobilise, but also
the proposals we put forward. So we are excited that our next Wednesday
webinar will bring together trade unionists and activists in Italy, Nigeria
and India, who are at the forefront of struggles to defend public services
and also advancing bold new visions for a public future.

The Future is Public
<https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=SGgeOx&mc=Ci&s=3csYPD&u=Stcs4&z=EMvTdw&>

Next week's webinar will also be a chance to reflect on a new book TNI
launched this week — The Future is Public
<https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=SGgeOx&mc=Ci&s=3csYPD&u=Stcs4&z=EIxtzH0&>
— that shows that public services are more important than ever in the face
of the climate catastrophe, mounting inequalities, and growing political
unrest. The book identified more than 1,400 services that have been brought
back under public control involving more than 2,400 cities in 58 countries
around the world. It also shared the learning from experiences of
democratic, participatory and innovative public services that are
transforming communities worldwide.

Future Beyond Shell Presents: Future Beyond Crises

For tomorrow TNI is happy to invite you to the live broadcast Future Beyond
Shell Presents: Future Beyond Crises
<https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=SGgeil&mc=Ci&s=3csYPD&u=Stcs4&z=E9br9HN&>
on *Saturday, May 16 19:20 CET*. This online event is organised in
cooperation with Climate Liberation Bloc (CLuB), Code Rood, Gastivists, and
Shell Must Fall.
<https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=SGgeil&mc=Ci&s=3csYPD&u=Stcs4&z=ECh8Fzb&>

The planet is and has been in crisis. In crises, in fact, as no issue is
isolated. Lives, livelihoods, land, and nature are sacrificed for corporate
profit. And while corporate multinationals like Shell are scrambling to
profit from crises, and governments bend to their demands, we must ask
ourselves: which future do we want to bail out?

How can we support communities, social movements, sectors, and industries
to move towards the future we want? A future beyond crises.
