Only 2% of people are members of political parties. This small group of people is generating most of the stories we hear about people and power that the media feeds upon.
There’s a much better story to be told, based on the ideas, passions and practices of the 98% - everyday people, in their communities, relating to the wider world we live in.
What we have discovered is that so many of the solutions to the multiple crises – environmental, social and psychosocial – are already available. Yet without visibility and attention they are unlikely to get any traction.
We tell that story every day on The Daily Alternative. Connecting the health of the individual to the health of the planet, via the health of our local, city, regional and virtual communities.
Help us build that story by sharing your practice and initiatives. Get your friends to read The DA – it’s the quickest way to feel better about the world.
