On May 16, 2020, we published an op-ed “Work: Democratize, Decommodify, Decarbonize” signed by more than 3,000 scholars in 43 national media around the globe. The op-ed turned Manifesto is available in 27 languages. Since then, a movement and a community has emerged around these ideas, gathering locally and globally to push for change. The book discussing the 3 principles of the Manifesto, Le Manifeste Travail was published in French in October 2020, then in Portuguese in March 2021. We collectively gathered during 3 days for the Global Forum on Democratizing Work in October 2021, through more than 120 panels, with participants from 85 countries, launching National Chapters in 16 countries. And today, the book is coming out in English, Democratize Work. The Case for Reorganizing the Economy at the University of Chicago Press. At each moment, our movement has grown stronger and we hope to mark this milestone with all of you on May 16, 2022, on the second anniversary of the publication of our joint op-ed in the service of working people around the globe, and the planet #DemocratizingWork |
