Cost of living podcast

a podcast by Gastivists Collective & Corporate Europe Observatory

The cost of living crisis is rapidly spreading. But we are organising…

You’ll be listening here to recordings, to small Snippets, from a bi-weekly call that we organized with the gastivists collective and CEO (Corporate Europe Observatory). Those calls, and now, this podcast, have the aim of bringing different actors together, in order to make sense of the cost of living crisis that we’re currently facing.
 
🍉 Join us to hear from the people that are organising to adapt and resist: energy poverty groups, housing networks, trade unions, and more. 🍉 Get different perspectives on the cost of living crisis & get inspired by existing initiatives.
 

🎧 Listen here below to our Cost of Living PODCAST 🎧

Episode 1 – Energy Justice

We dive into initiatives linking social justice and energy justice. Hear from Monica and how people living in energy poverty organise collectively in the the Alianza Contra la Pobreza Energetica.

Episode 2 – Trade Unions

We understand the perspective of workers on the cost of living crisis. We are joined by Sarah Woolley, the general secretary of the “Bakers Food and Allied Workers” trade union in the United Kingdom. Support the strikes. Join a union.

Episode 3 – Central and East Europe

In episode 3, we see how our analysis of the costs of living crisis needs to better integrate perspectives from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Nawojka, Ani, Eniko and Josef explain the specificities of CEE and share essential advice on building resistance and solutions to the crisis.

Episode 4 – Housing Rights

Decent Housing and access to energy are deeply connected. Listen to Agnes Gagyi (Hungary) and Ioana Florea (Romania) to understand how the housing movement organises and how to address the commodification of housing.

 

Episode 5 – Hope

In our final episode, find out about Case Pueblo (Puerto Rico) and how a community took ownership of their energy system (and ended up reclaiming much more!). And their website is: https://casapueblo.org/
