Dear Jose,

Would be great if you could participate on our concept of cosmo-local
production, if you pitch in, I will too,

Michel

Dear GTN,

In May, we introduced a new format for the bimonthly GTN discussions.
Rather than focus on a formal essay, we asked you to comment on a broad
theme (the climate movement) and a structured set of associated topics.
This revised approach got
a thumbs up from many of you, so let’s stick with it.

Our July forum—*THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY?*—will zoom in from a global
panorama to the local scale in order to explore the scope for community
action to drive a Great Transition. Please organize your comments as
responses to one or more of the following topics:  *The Promise and
Pitfalls of Localism*


*Can bottom-up action and communitarian sensibility anchor a global
movement? Or is localism inherently limited by granularity, particularity,
and insularity? *

*Theories of Transformation*
*What conceptual frameworks provide effective guidance for a consequential
glocalism? *

*Scaling Sideways and Up *
*What prefigurative approaches are advancing replicable change in the
interstices of the dominant system? What new organizing initiatives and
coordinating structures are needed to catalyze a transformational movement
of local movements?*

Brian Tokar, a writer-activist in the social ecology tradition, leads off
with his responses to each of these topics, available here
<https://greattransition.org/images/Tokar-Think-Globally-Act-Locally.pdf>
(also coming soon to your inbox). What are yours? We welcome both succinct
and extended comments (up to c. 1,200 words).

The internal GTN discussion will go through Thursday, JULY 31. Then we will
publish a curated selection of comments that samples a range of
perspectives.

Over to you,
Paul
