Do we have a right to be hopeful? With political and ecological fires raging all around, is it irresponsible to imagine a future world radically better than our own? A world without prisons? Of beautiful, green public housing? Of buried border walls? Of healed ecosystems? A world where governments fear the people instead of the other way around? 

“A Message From the Future II: The Years of Repair” is an animated short film that dares to dream of a future in which 2020 is a historic turning point, where the lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic and global uprisings against racism drive us to build back a better society in which no one is sacrificed and every one is essential.

The film is a sequel to the 2019 Emmy-nominated short film “A Message From the Future” with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and features the art of Molly Crabapple, with the political storytelling of Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis, and Opal Tometi. The cast of narrators from around the world includes Tometi, Emma Thompson, Gael García Bernal, and the Nigerian poet and activist Nnimmo Bassey.

At the TBN National Conference 2011, Greg Spencer presented the Paradigm Project. This for-profit business supplies healthy, efficient stoves to Africa, significantly reducing families' wood consumption and smoke inhalation, while improving their economic stability.

The project not only aids the poor but also leverages billions in carbon markets, combats deforestation, and challenges the notion that profiting from the poor cannot benefit them.

The left is losing support from low-skill, low-paid workers, who form 45% of Britain's labor market. The 2019 election highlighted this fracture, with Labour losing traditional strongholds while gaining in cities.

Can transforming work help reconnect the left with these communities? Jon Cruddas and Molly Kinder will explore making work fulfilling, respected, and well-rewarded. Interventions like national colleges for skilled work and worker councils could restore dignity and rebalance employer-employee relationships.

Human objects in space are creating dangerous clutter. MIT Assistant Professor Danielle Wood advocates for sustainable space technology, stressing the need to respect both people and the environment in future missions. This approach is crucial for managing the "industrial waste" accumulating beyond Earth.

One promising solution involves a wax-based fuel for satellites, made from beeswax and candle wax. This less toxic and more affordable alternative would help bring objects closer to Earth for safe deorbiting and destruction, offering a sustainable way to address space debris.
