The WEF is heading to your area. And there isn't a lot of time to stop them!

If you want to live in a 15-minute city (if you call that living…) and allow the government and their masters in the WEF/UN etc the power to control everything you do, say, eat and think, don’t bother reading any further.

But if you feel that you should have the freedom to make those choices without the interference of corporate elites who want you to own nothing and be happy, please check with your local council and see if they are considering implementing a 15-minute ‘smart’ city. If so, speak up, organise others to do the same and start fighting while you still can.

If you live in my area, The Greens’ Tamara Smith has posted about a public consultation regarding these proposed changes. I’m going to have my say. I hope you will too!

Please share any information you discover about similar moves in your area so people who live near you can also mobilise.
