We cannot afford to replicate the inequalities and injustices that continue condemning tens of millions of people to lives of want, poverty & poor health.
We need to come together — across countries & sectors— to support those countries who need the most help. #DavosAgenda

Today marks 800 days of house arrest for a "crime" where the longest previous sentence was 90 days.
Feeling vulnerable, but also strong and hopeful. 🙏❤️

The movements and #rights of #Antiguans and #Barbudans have been severely curtailed and COVID is given as the reason. In the meantime, the doors have been thrown wide open to whomever wants to visit, whatever status. All are welcome and social distancing and masks are optional.

Mass poverty is not some kind of primordial lack; it is the result of an economic system that appropriates resources from the South, pays wages below the cost of subsistence, drains profits, and seeks to militate against attempts at sovereign economic development.

Right now, an extraordinary amount of land in the global South (800 million hectares, more than twice the size of India) is appropriated entirely for servicing consumption in rich nations. And this is a *net* figure, i.e., without equivalent compensation through trade.
