Cath is on an international tour sharing her breadth of experience in radical cooperation while connecting communities committed to solidarity & mutual aid. She is keen to create local, national and international relationships between radical economic and cultural transformation projects and help the sharing of resources, ideas, pitfall-warnings and solutions.

The idea of the evening is to catalyse useful information-sharing, problem-solving and visioning between everyone who turns up.

Cath is spending a year touring Spain and North America
without flying, including a transatlantic hitch from Europe on
sailboats. She is investigating and connecting projects and people that aim to transform society
- from social currencies in Catalunya to egalitarian communes in Virginia
- from an informal latinx mutual savings collective in California to a new black credit union in Minneapolis
- from international platform coops & European tech collectives to sociocracy in Oregon and authentic relating in Texas
- from squatted community gardens in The Canary Islands to Urban Farms in Jackson Miss
- from a collective mental health commune in Madrid to disaster relief in Puerto Rico and political self-defense training in New York.
