Webinar 7 October: Financing the future we want – from a green recovery to a just transition
Dear reader,
Tune in for TNI's new monthly webinar series: Ideas into movement, starting Wednesday 7 October 16:00 - 17:30 CET. This series will bring together thinkers and activists to analyse critical global issues and put forward transformative alternatives and solutions. Our focus is transnational, highlighting the global context and dimensions of different crises, as well as profiling the social movements, especially those in the Global South, that are leading struggles for justice.
In the first episode Financing the future we want – from a green recovery to a just transition we will explore the options and mechanisms we have in the current circumstances to avoid austerity and invest in a just transition. How can we ensure that the Global South benefits? How can we change the narrative to stop an unfolding crisis become a deepening emergency?
Wednesday 7 October 2020 at 4pm CET.

Coming soon: Deportation Union; databases for expulsions
Join Statewatch and TNI with guests on Monday 26 October to explore the role of these databases in ongoing efforts to step up deportations.
The EU is expanding a host of databases used for migration and border control. New systems are being developed to ensure the biometric registration of almost all non-EU nationals in the Schengen area. Under the moniker of “interoperability”, the data held in these systems is being interconnected and used in new and controversial ways. Frontex has been given an increasing role in the design and operation of databases used to facilitate expulsions.
Speakers announced soon.
