As 2024 draws to a close, and we look forward to 2025, it is difficult to view the year ahead without a sense of fear and trepidation.
With Donald Trump about to return as US President, Russia’s assaults on Ukraine being bolstered by weapons and troops from North Korea, and widespread interference in the democratic process across Europe, democracy is reeling under the twin assault of billionaire-funded populism and brutal authoritarianism.
We have to ask ourselves, “Is there any good news?”
In her online talk at 6.30 PM on Wednesday 15th January Alex Hall Hall will discuss the challenges we face, but also the seeds of hope that are there to be found and what we can do to help nurture them.
