Did you hear? I'm running for #UN Secretary-General because the system no longer works: we aren't represented, it fails to deliver on its mandate of peace, & huge challenges are going unsolved (climate etc) Take a minute to sign & support my campaign 🇺🇳🔥 atlasmovement.org/unite4surv…
I never thought I would write this. But here it comes: I’m running for #UN Secretary-General 🇺🇳. Because of the 30,000 killed by Israel in Gaza. Because global warming exceeded 1.5° in 2023. We can stop this. Endorse our campaign, #Unite4survival 🗳️ unite4survival.org

At #2024UNCSC we heard loud and clear from diplomats that none of civil society's priorities would be in the final Pact. Why? Because the UN was build for government to talk to themselves not to listen to civil society. That is why we need a permanent #GlobalCitizensAssembly NOW!
Our global governance systems are falling short in addressing today's crises. But citizens’ assemblies can overcome polarisation, foster inclusion+drive solidarity. Join us to make citizen voices heard⬇️#SummitoftheFuture @SVoice2030 @PlataformaCIPO #2024UNCSC @davidlevai

Why? Because global governance is no longer fit to address current crises and intergenerational challenges. A #GlobalCitizenAssembly can create a political mandate for change and advance what politicians can’t!

Thx @ColombeCS for you support. Many great reforms proposed by the Climate Governance Commission and @SDDecleve. To build political traction we need citizens' support. That is why we need a #GlobalCitizensAssembly ASAP - Join our coalition gcacoalition.org #GlobalAssembly
Replying to @davidlevai
@davidlevai is pitching the idea of a global permanent citizens’ assembly at #UNCSC I absolutely love the idea, and think it’s fundamental to have citizens’ involvement and power in all global governance structures.

Good luck to the team @JamieKelseyFry Victoria Kapadia @asifkapadia @thinkfilmimpact for the presentation about the @_GlobalAssembly documentary in Cannes next week. It's exciting work that could bring the deliberative democracy / citizens' assemblies ideas into popular culture.
Get ready for Cannes! Join us on the beach for a change-making day addressing important topics of mental health action, women in film, the future of democracy, and Roma representation. 🎥 tfip.org/impact-at-cannes-ma… @mstyslavchernov @VHopeful @20DaysMariupol @JamieKelseyFry
