Trump’s re-election could feel like the end of hope, but is it really? In this talk, I explore how this moment could be the trigger we need to build a new world—one rooted in love, not power. By shifting our thinking, organising assemblies, and fostering deep connection, we can counter despair and fascism alike.
I discuss the foundational human need for love and how it transforms politics, drawing from psychology and practical examples. From personal stories to assembly blueprints, I lay out a roadmap for creating mass movements capable of real change.
