I was thinking...

Jun 6, 2022

Good morning from London!

I'm at my desk rather early today and you've been on my mind.

I was meant to be a delegate at our union's conference in Belfast last week, but alas, they made no provisions for mask wearing and didn't offer a virtual option to participate. More and more companies are behaving like this and it's so harmful--especially to the most vulnerable populations.

Just last week, we were at the park over the Jubilee bank holidays. As it was a bit crowded we wore our masks, and someone shouted at us, 'the pandemic is over' mockingly. Yet it's far from over. People are still dying (several hundred a day here in the UK) and long covid is still a thing.

I fear it will go back to how it was before, vulnerable folks being isolated and alone without services. One of the things I want to be able to do in this work and within our community, is to keep our services accessible AND being able to uplift community members through mutual aid and giving them a platform to share their work.

I'd love to hear from you, how are you coping? What's going on with you?

This week, I'm continuing to get the word out about our upcoming course, Sowing Post Capitalst Seeds for Business this month. And our foundation course, that starts in September. We'd love to have you. I am giving everyone 30 minutes of my time -- details below.

I'm giving an encore presentation about Building An Ethical Business in an Inherently Unethical World tomorrow. Make sure you sign up if you want the recording and a free gift. I'm giving everyone 30 minutes of my time--not a sales call, not a brain picking session, but where you share where you are in your journey of building an ethical business and I will reflect back what I see. I may offer an insight or two.

In solidarity,

Anuradha
