<p><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">Dear GTN,</font></font><br>
<br><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">
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</font></font><br><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">
a thumbs up from many of you, so let’s stick with it. </font></font><br>
<br><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">
Our July forum—</font></font><b><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY?</font></font></b><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">—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: </font><b><font style="vertical-align:inherit">The Promise and Pitfalls of Localism</font></b></font><br>
<b> </b><br>
<b><font style="vertical-align:inherit"></font></b><br>
<i><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">Can bottom-up action and communitarian sensibility anchor a global movement? Or is localism inherently limited by granularity, particularity, and insularity? </font></font></i><br>
<br>
<b><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">Theories of Transformation</font></font></b><br>
<i><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">What conceptual frameworks provide effective guidance for a consequential glocalism? </font></font></i><br>
<br>
<b><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">Scaling Sideways and Up </font></font></b><br>
<i><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">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?</font></font></i><br>
<br><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">
Brian Tokar, a writer-activist in the social ecology tradition, leads off with his responses to each of these topics, available </font></font><a href="https://greattransition.org/images/Tokar-Think-Globally-Act-Locally.pdf" class="m_-5728992596022201508bbcode_url" target="_blank"><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">

(also coming soon to your inbox). What are yours? We welcome both succinct and extended comments (up to c. 1,200 words).</font></font><br>
<br><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">
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.</font></font><br>

Over to you,</font></font><br><font style="vertical-align:inherit"><font style="vertical-align:inherit">
