1) Positive Money Conference
Conference “It’s our money!” took place on Sat 29th Oct in London. Two weeks before the conference it was completely sold out and we were sorry we didn’t take a bigger venue as the interest was really high, especially close to the date. If you haven’t been there (or if you did, but want to refresh your memory), here you can read the report along with photos:
We are preparing the video from the conference as well, it will be ready soon.
2) Positive Money in Parliament
An important meeting entitled ”IGNORING MONEY: WHY THE VICKER’S COMMISSION WILL NOT PREVENT THE NEXT CRISIS” was held in Committee Room 21, Houses of Parliament on the 8th November.
The speakers were: Ben Dyson – Positive Money, Josh Ryan-Collins – New Economics Foundation, Steve Baker – Conservative MP and Michael Meacher – Labour MP. Here is the report from this event.
3) Help wanted – “Occupy”
Positive Money is supporting the “Occupy” movement for social justice. A point made continually in the media is the lack of direction or solution from Occupy protests. Obviously the occupy protesters are frustrated with the current situation, but most of them still don’t understand the changes that need to be implemented in order to fix the situation.
We feel we should be more involved in it, spreading the word, educating about the importance of a reform of money to achieve the social justice, enlighten people to the truth, and solutions to the problems within the monetary system and creating connections…
If you would like to help with:
- Setting up a stall or tent with banners to direct those motivated to find out about our definitive explanation of the problem and our proposals to head in the correct direction.
- or Create a banner
- or Offer 1 day a week to be there
then please let us know via email – info@positivemoney.org
Various cities have their own Facebook pages– as e.g. “Occupy Cardiff” – that’s also one way how you can get in touch with them and spread the word online.
To help spreading the word you can also download and hand out some of the flyers here. If you have a good idea for another flyer, please send it to us (info@positivemoney.org) and we can publish it too.
