6:00 pm - DiEM25 London: Resistance Is Existence w/Joe in Norway

As the UK and Europe face deepening democratic, social and environmental crises, DiEM25 is bringing its pan-European network of resistance to London for an evening of political debate, culture and collective defiance.

On March 24, Resistance Is Existence: The Fight For Our Future will bring together political leaders, thinkers, artists and comedians to explore what resistance means today – and how it can become a shared force capable of confronting injustice.

On this night of defiance, we will bring together the voices that the establishment keeps trying to silence, including Yanis Varoufakis, Jeremy Corbyn, Zack Polanski, Francesca Albanese, Grace Blakeley, Brian Eno, Laura Pidcock, Srećko Horvat, and Erik Edman. The event will also include poetry by Inua Ellams and comedy by Francesca Martinez.

During the next one or two Zoom sessions, we will be taken through a summary — with commentary — of Jacques Ellul’s most famous book, The Technological Society, led by Laurie Johnson, Professor of Political Science with a specialization in political philosophy. This will involve a much deeper plunge into Ellul’s thought, and we will further explore the relevance of his ideas to the problems we face today — including the rise of AI — as we live in a world increasingly shaped, and often dominated, by technology.
