Fearless Cities, the international summit initiated by Barcelona En Comu, shows how we can build another world. And there is much to take from the Fearless Cities we co-organised in Sheffield in 2024, which we have explored in three blogs and a podcast.

“The far-right thrive in a world of crisis...the local level as a key arena to do politics – instead of thinking of politics as solely revolving around the state – is vital to reimagine our world...” @steve-rushton.bsky.social writes

📣In November 2024, we were part of organising #FearlessCities gathering in #Sheffield. A year on, we're reflecting and expanding on directions for municipalism in the UK and beyond - citizens’ assemblies, mutual aid, action networks & reclaiming common spaces. 🪷

Çok merak ediyorum bugün "İzmir Korkusuz Kentler Çalıştayı"nı düzenleyen CHP, #barcelona eski belediye başkanı @adacolau.bsky.social 'nun liderliğinde ortaya çıkmış #fearlesscities adında bir belediyecilik hareketi olduğundan haberdarlar mı?

Cities were crucial in humanity's journey long before capitalism & other structural oppression. Through Degrowth Municipalism cities can continue this role as these human constructions fade into history.

This is the most exciting initiative I've heard about in awhile: Yorman Nuñez of MIT Collab & the BCDI giving us the dl on community ownership development, anti-displacement efforts at #FearlessCities https://www.commonwise.nyc/ A lot to learn here, Seattle...
"It's not just that the right has all the money and the media, we have to be really frank, it's also that they've out-organized us. Since Goldwater, they've been door-knocking, doing all the work that we have to do, strategically, every day." —Kali Akuno #FearlessCities
"I view municipalism as a site where we can learn how to be democratic...I hope that we all walk away from here committed to transforming society..if humanity is going to have a future, we have to learn how to struggle together quickly."—Kali Akuno @CooperationJXN #FearlessCities
"It's not about citizenship; we see how Black and indigenous people get treated even though they're citizens. It's about liberation....how much privilege are we willing to give up?...I have the duty to fight for the people who can't." --Maru Mora Villalpando. #FearlessCities
"It's in the assembly that we become transformed, & develop an ethics based in nature and complexity and interdependence...I view municipalism as bringing to the fore an ethic of responsibility and caring that connects us." --Debbie Bookchin #FearlessCities
