Radical Justice: Building the World We Need – With Nani Jansen Reventlow

“Radical simply means grasping things by the root.” – Angela Davis

What does it take to build a future rooted in freedom, dignity, and equality when the world feels like it’s moving in the opposite direction? How can we all contribute towards it?

Across the globe, we are witnessing the rise of authoritarian politics, widening economic inequality, and a climate crisis at breaking point. The scale of injustice can feel overwhelming — and in moments like these, it’s easy to feel powerless.

But what if change doesn’t start “out there”? What if it starts with us?

Join us for an evening with Nani Jansen Reventlow — award-winning international human rights lawyer and author of Radical Justice,  a powerful and practical guide for strengthening the movement for freedom and equality for all. Drawing on decades of legal and activist work, Nani shows how each of us, within our own spheres of influence, can take meaningful action toward systemic change.

Inspired by thinkers such as Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò and Angela Davis, Radical Justice moves beyond despair and into action — exploring concrete pathways including strategic litigation, digital rights, reparations, and climate justice, while inviting us to learn, reflect, and act in a society that too often tells us change is impossible.

Ready to explore what else is possible towards contributing to a just future for all? This event is for anyone asking hard questions about the world we live in — and how we might build something better, together.

This evening is co-hosted by Ashoka, Impact Hub and Circles – Consciously Curated, and moderated by Alessandra Bravi and Claudia Garuti from Circles – Consciously Curated.
