Hi Friends, We've published a new article on REDWeb. Dr. A.T. Ariyaratne, visionary founder of the Sarvodaya movement in Sri Lanka, passed away last month. In our latest article, Quincy Saul offers a tribute to the legendary figure, sharing key lessons we can learn from his life’s work as movements around the world continue the struggle for revolutionary change and alternatives to unjust systems. https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/a-tribute-to-a-t-ariyaratne/ Please do read and share the article with your networks. I've also copied Quincy on this email. In solidarity, Pooja

He has produced a vast body of work, made up of both historical novels and journalistic essays that carry the reader across continents and oceans. Each work is grounded in thorough archival research and succeeds in transcending boundaries and time periods with literary eloquence. Ghosh makes major themes such as migration, diaspora, and cultural identity tangible without ever losing sight of the human dimension. >> >> Ashish Kothari: A founder-member of Indian environmental group Kalpavriksh. He has (co)authored or (co)edited over 30 books, and helps coordinate the Vikalp Sangam and Ecological Democracy processes.
