@UN_Women's Research & Data team is asking: Is this time ( #covid-19 crisis) different?

@Jayati1609 says yes, and so the usual (capitalist) remedies won't work. What's needed?

⬆️⬆️⬆️public investment in the care economy, social protection, public services, the green economy 🌏 https://twitter.com/LauraTurquet/status/1278342520477569025
And this requires:

- progressive financing + tax justice 💵

- not selling the 🐍 oil of public-private partnerships
@DAWNfeminist Corina Rodriguez: Rebuilding should be about strengthening care systems.

In Buenos Aires, the community spaces where the most basic needs–food 🥣, care 🩹👩‍🍼–are met are keeping people afloat.
@MsNyamburah: We're also dealing with ⬇️ing multilateralism (& its orientation to cooperation + public interest🤝🌏) and ⬆️ing philanthrocapitalism (& its preference for technical fixes 💻).

What is needed? A radical politics of the commons + a "corporate governance coup."
@gita_sen: Countries w/ functioning health systems pre- #covid handle it better & this lesson extends beyond healthcare 👉 political systems, care systems, employment systems.
On coalition building🤝:

@gita_sen: should we build new alliances w/groups who are losing power?

@MsNyamburah: Cross-movement organizing✅, speaking in silos❌.

Corina: Key is being clear on non-negotiables.

@Jayati1609: We have to work with anyone who shares our agenda 🤝
Lots to think about here, even at 5:30am 😅☕️ Thanks @UN_Women for a fantastic webinar! 🤓👏😊
