Hi John,
I’m emailing you with some exciting news on this grey and wet January morning: Global Justice Now, the Stop Trump Coalition and Another Europe is Possible have joined forces to start a podcast: COUNTER•POWER. If you’re now wondering whether the world really needs another podcast, hear me out: this one is a little different.
COUNTER•POWER isn’t just about conversation. It’s also about turning ideas into action and building real community power. In every episode we’ll leave you with something you can do – big or small – to catalyse real change.
In this very first episode Zoe Williams (The Guardian) explores the state of a rapidly changing world one year on from Donald Trump’s second inauguration. She's joined by Zoe Gardner from the Stop Trump Coalition and Alyssa Elliott from Indivisible London, the first international chapter of the main US resistance movement, to answer the question we all want to have answered: in a world of President Trump, where do progressive movements go next?

But to create and sustain a well-produced podcast that people actually want to listen to is no small feat. Today, podcasting isn’t just about great ideas. It requires high-quality audio, strong visuals and consistent editorial quality. Without it, we can’t attract listeners or the interesting high-profile guests we want to bring into the conversation. And it all requires funding.
That’s why we need your help. We need £8,000 to catapult COUNTER•POWER into the podcasting sphere, with the aim of making it self-sustaining in the future.
Are you able to donate today to help give COUNTER•POWER the best start possible? Any donation – big or small – can help us get there.

As always, thank you for continuously supporting Global Justice Now. I hope you'll find COUNTER•POWER interesting and inspiring and that you’re excited about this new way of taking our campaigns for justice to the world and building collective power.
In true podcaster fashion I of course need to encourage you to subscribe, like and follow COUNTER•POWER – wherever you listen to/watch podcasts. And if you like what you hear, we’d truly appreciate a review as well.
Best wishes,
James O’Nions
Head of movement building at Global Justice Now
