The 2020s will be the most important decade of activism in human history.

By the end of 2029, humanity’s destiny will be decided. Activists and social movements will play a key role in the outcome of events.

Here’s six ways we’ll be doing activism differently in the 2020s:

Ecology: the final mobilization

The 2020s will be defined by the collective race to drastically reduce global carbon emissions by 7.6% a year, for ten years, to avoid climate chaos. This practically impossible task will require a suspension of the status quo in order to facilitate tremendous collective actions, such as planting one trillion trees.

There will be widespread acceptance that only an alliance between social movements and elites is capable of mobilizing sufficient numbers of people, and equipping them with resources to carry out the necessary transformation of everyday life.

The class conflict between rich and poor will be superseded by a civil war between those who embrace change and those who resist it.
