Abby Martin and Jill Stein – acTVism Munich Press Conference
On the 6th of May 2018, we organized an event at the Muffatwerk in Munich with Glenn Greenwald, Abby Martin and Jill Stein under the title „Freedom & Democracy: Global Issues in Context 2.0″. Below you will find the video of the press conference that we held right after the event. Due to limited capacities as a non-profit, volunteer-based and independent organization, we were unable to publish this video right away.
In this press conference we invited not only journalists from local and mainstream media outlets but also grassroots activists, artists, organizers and non-profit initiatives. Even though we sent invitations to local & mainstream media outlets to participate in this press conference, and some of them even confirmed, in the end they did not attend.
We would also like to take this opportunity to announce the start of our crowdfunding campaign aiming to reach 1000 donors who can support our vision with as little as €5 or $5 a month through our Patreon page or Crowdfunding platform at betterplace.org. Click here to find out how you can support our vision on a regular basis via different payment methods.
Thank you for your love & support. Your generosity will contribute greatly in informing and inspiring people worldwide!

Jill Stein was the U.S. Green Party’s presidential candidate in 2016 and 2012. She is an organizer, physician and environmental health advocate. In the 2016 election, she was the only national Presidential candidate to call for an emergency jobs program to jointly solve the climate and economic crises, and for demilitarization through a foreign policy based on international law, diplomacy and human rights. She was also the only candidate to be arrested for supporting the Dakota Sioux nation in resisting the DAPL pipeline. Following the 2016 election, she launched a recount initiative – which is ongoing – to investigate potential interference in the presidential election.
Abby Martin is a visual artist and independent journalist. She is the founder of Media Roots, board member of Project Censored, former host of RT’s Breaking the Set, creator and host of The Empire Files on teleSUR.

I have given much thought to how to solve the problems of greed inherent in people and society, and the best way I can think of to solve this and legislate morality and ethics in the world is to change the way we put value on money. Instead of the value of money being dictated by power governments and the banking cartels, if your countries currency was measured against a perfect holistic currency, every country would want to raise their standards of all three quality of life measures. Corporations and the elite would be forced to do better as their business in that country would be reflected in the value of that countries currency, thus governments would enforce social and environmental justices, and they would ensure Corporations/Elite pay fairly into the tax base, which reflects economic justice. An International Trade Currency which represents the highest quality of Economic, Social and Environmental justice, whereby all countries have to purchase to do trade, would be a catalyst for world change. Yes, by changing the value of Money to reflect ethical and moral responsibility, not just economics, you can legislate these values on a world scale. How to do this? You start talking about it, sharing the idea. Eventually those with respected opinions and media clout will also share the idea, flesh it out even more. If it proves to be a good solution to combat the many unnecessary ills our world suffers under the current capitalist system that drives International trade and enriches the few at the expense of the many, then the idea becomes a part of the global conversation of economic, social and environmental rights activists. How to do this? When the conversation reaches enough people who demand change, that is how mass movements begin. But it has to start somewhere, it has to start with having the conversation and sharing the idea.
Global Empathy, that’s the key word. We gotta connect solution on a global level. Nice press conference.
