after the current job is a job
I thought a few years ago paid me
basically imagine things and
I want to start a little inviting all
you to imagine what more
wonderful it would be if from childhood
the art of being citizens we education
ayudasen to assets if we get that
leader in all of us
if you teach us to organize ourselves
mobilize against injustice and
corruption
Imagine that in schools and
universities to prepare for
artisans creators of democracy
Well I work in which is usually
speak level of social activism
professional
in a nutshell I dedicate myself to
identify opportunities where
there may be a change and try to
develop a campaign strategy
I can mobilize citizens
around this cause and that may have a
impact but it was not always so
despite some early justicieros
The truth is that for much of
my youth was one of those young people who
sometimes they appear young headlines
apathetic politicians who at best me
engaged in a heated discussion
Navarre policy in a strike or
Christmas family dinner course
but ultimately unrelated to
any social commitment and citizen
and everything began to change when after
a personal identity crisis
Professional also held in
England
spent some time recycling concept
even ideological and personal day
deep that led him to kill
working for an international NGO and
to travel the world by supporting projects
humanitarians who are basically
focusing on conflict situations and
post – conflict or disaster situations
natural and one of the things that
I learned to listen to and especially the
people who were affected by these
not only situations where there is a
pain and suffering that was for me
but even imaginable in
most desperate situations it
always a spark of hope one
suit jacket bearing the
creativity tenacity and courage
I love and that made this community
it’s people could keep walking towards
front and I saw it from wanda sierra leone
we saw in Nepal and India and also
in some Latin American countries
Guatemala El Salvador and especially
day he came to see me a fellow who
He invited to join a project that is the
project has basically been great
part of what they were doing in these
recent years a little crazy
basically with ambition and realism
unprecedented but also endow a
tremendous pragmatism and the idea
It was basically combine all the
wisdom and knowledge of years
activist working level and
civil society and mixed in a
shaker with the latest technologies
We’re talking 89 years ago
Internet has begun to hit very strong
and there I embarked on what medellín
now it has become a movement
citizen largest Internet
world and that I will tell you some
stories in a short time but before that
I wanted to reconnect a bit in the world
when we talk about activism and when
we talk about changing the world sometimes
we accused of being optimistic and people
naive we live in another in another
dimension and true that when one looks
around and atrocities of
war
the tragedy of the millions of people
who they are forced to drop everything and
start a path that no one knows where
Great for carrying sometimes having to
venture and what we are
seeing people leaving our shores
in small boats and many many
water and disappear when
We think of the big problems
We have not yet heard capable of
famines solve the drought
inequality and poverty now much
has also guided yy more aggravated by
the great climatic phenomena
It seems that are changing to a
very worrying speed forget
Poverty also a reminder that
It is very close to us and then
He does not think
perhaps with some optimism in the
corruption and impunity for
corrupt
very often to cap these
recently as leaders who make
I hate lying addiction
its flag can become that
we release in these times
really to start trembling at
sleep but in such cases I usually
do is change a little perspective
try to step back and reflect
on certain progress we are
also living our time and
worth being heard on issues
schooling of children to
primary advances are being
magnificent in recent years
level of public health and hope
lifetime
in recognizing the role of
potential talent Wonder
that women are every day our
companies
That is also increasing
in heights of power also even
war level despite it all
day across televisions and other
our computers there are fewer wars
which he listed wars than ever and
killed in combat have defended
also dramatically and then if
we think the world of transition
energy and green energy and
They are also a renewable
revolution sometimes quietest
what you would expect but also
It is poised to transform our lives
the question is going to arrive on time
we will be able to that progress
whether there is enough
fast and efficient that we take some
way out of the quagmire in which
They are involved and put affiliation
polar bear because basically
It represents perhaps the most formidable challenge
we face a challenge that
scientists say it could mean
that the overnight
we passed a point of no return and that
Somehow the fragile balance of
planet starts low and is
also prepared for that but good
I’ll tell you some experiences
I personal think that what
a way for me has meant this
kind of dance between inspiration and
action to speak of this third
x today was going to start a little with a
history in Brazil that basically
Me represents the number one choice
you have learned in the years since
every gesture each individual action each
voice rises may seem
insignificant account and account these
times we are living in this
It was last year that agreeing is
the political crisis that began
Brazil affect even led to the
impeachment of President Dilma
rousseff
We long have
worked there and especially on issues of
corruption
corruption and and new things we
It surprised that apart from the confusion
policy is occurring
and the paradoxical thing really
shocking that the biggest winner of all
this confusion and this citizen fight
He is making the political more
corrupt country
Eduardo cunha with tremendous power
capable of moving wires and was
strengthened out of all this struggle and
that day is today photo
I was in Brasilia with our dear
diego colleague and we are doing the
delivery of one million 300 thousand signatures
like a voice in the wilderness because no
He is talking about the issue closed with
we went around saying there is a
million 300 thousand Brazilian citizens
they want the ethics committee
the lower house of parliament in brazil
suspend functions revoke the
by Eduardo cunha for fruit
reasons and evidence of their
corruption and could have been a day
normal , but something happened that I
really a revolution because
seconds after the image
Mr center was back
it was an ally and an ally of
Eduardo cunha tried to wrest
poster symbolic delivery of signatures
by force insulting my colleague
diego and generating a response in
rest of the chamber
protection somehow and if not
let them deliver citizens
their voices and all that happened in front
all the flat major media
Brazilian communication
Can you imagine that in a couple of days I
All that was spoken in the country was the
Incident million three hundred thousand
firms that had been delivered and the
need for the ethics committee
moviese more quickly to this case
previously from there a series
campaigns we get the person the
committee that had the decisive vote
vote against wedge and after
much more effort
Eduardo cunha end was suspended and
whatever a story that campaign
that request just before that time
He had gone through a time
was almost
was abandoned and a person imagine
signing the petition and sharing
and another person who signed the petition
and sharing what started generating
one vidal wave that became
will increase from 200-odd thousand signatures
1,300,000 within days
That was the beginning of all that what
Kaddafi gesture firm has said and there
Sometimes we talk about whether this type of
Internet activism is native
sofa and not paid anything
it is simply feeling good by signing the
request serves no purpose but
I invite you to think not only about the act the
click signature or premises by
internet if that happens then I
I think the example of Brazil can
illustrate that what matters what happens
after the chic my second example
work and my second choice
He comes from the hand of Argentina
I remember spending the first evening
Jean córdova the Argentina agreement
a village in Argentine Falklands
Victor Hugo
celina gastón and some more and was
fighting the great giant
monsanto technology and agribusiness
Monsanto wanted to set up a plant
Genetically modified seeds
your home and what will worsen
situation had exposure
pesticides and agrochemicals
They are assuming an incidence of
strong enough cancer
I agree with him when I sat with
them was quite the thing
complicated but there arises the second
lesson when we get together when
together around a cause when
We begin to think that you can do
when still we remain united and
presenting a cause
anything is possible stories
briefly because I do not have much
time and from that meeting
joint working this week
an entire local network of experts
journalists and activists Teachers
Overall our community with more than
a million people started
work together and what led to
court cases took surveys
opinion
the struggle in the electoral field by
quartermaster of the people and at the end
Victor Hugo left chosen as one of
members of the local team and that
purl that almost was
we had high retire and recognize
a defeat that tough to do
because they had never used
Fundabit such a small community
as it could cope and everything
came up with the magic the magic that
Connection
third lesson which leads me to go much
largest Thinking Big
I am convinced that the only way
we face the great challenges
as we face change
Climate is whether citizenship if
we took over as seventh
and this happened when after 2009
change negotiations
Climate walked on the floor
everyone told us not forgotten
Chinese United States and Russia in
Gulf countries are the work
ecological and green movement is
quite motivated and yet
the version was we have to get the
Street people have to prove
we care about our family
our children , for our grandchildren
you have to go outside and tell
our leaders who care as
It produced a series of demonstrations
Historic in 2014 2015 that were not
previous historical record
mobilization in both new york
2014 which was followed worldwide
as for the next year would
finish and there’s a little
interesting to combine with a great
but as a demonstration in Paris
consequence of the terrorist attack
Bataplán disco and some others
I had to stop for security but
even thousands of people there
citizens took their shoes and
if symbolically they put shoes
we keep marching up and
and I guess you know that in the end the
agreement was reached and responsible
un on change
climate came to tell us that he was
when they felt the breath citizens
when they saw demonstrations
Massive street when I was in
They realized they had to act and
They have to take
take that step forward and take this
according forward
here we have lived with 15m
independence of opinions and reading
what happened then what happened
Since then I think it was a
catalyst for our time
democracy and that leads us to believe that
citizen that energy still has
long tour done to reform
the system of political parties
bring more democracy our democracy
We are at a crossroads as strong
He said earlier threats are
but also pretty terrible
reasons for hope and power
It is in us can become
impressive wanted to read a small
part of the poem epic
mental struggle and I’ll do a little
per pass because I see that it is running out
time but represents the great
villain we face now
It is to choose as individuals and as
society will not abandon a little
tennis inertia of the times we
just let go until we
We wake up one day too late
witness the death of our
rights
too late to do anything
too late to think or maybe
We choose make this time
waking moment of empowerment
world
everything depends on the way we take
Now we take the future election
and the path we take depends on the
light we have to choose term
and basically referring to the
Labor MP John cox remember
which last year was killed in the
PRI campaign there
I met her in Brussels and
He became a friend and mentor in
coworker
inseparable for a while and
then he went into active politics and
joe the spirit of the cycle
terminals knew always see what
We have in common
people no matter religion
Race blame culture experience
vital
we always have something common that is much
more powerful larger than what we
separates and that was his flag and why
So much so have I done now
I leave and inviting them to reflect
on that road that lies ahead
with the conviction that one side
every gesture counts no matter how small
merchant and when we get together
we find that magic around a
social cause
we are capable of anything I
convinced and I hope that many of
that we can keep walking
way to a better world
I will report
[Applause]
