I write about how people build power and win: targets, pressure, messaging, and the common mistakes that movements make. I also host public conversations on resistance and strategy.

If you only read three pieces of mine, make them these:
- Less shock, more strategy: learning from far-right wins — what they did right, and what we can steal
- People don’t really want to support you... — how to frame your ‘ask’ so it lands
- And something more personal: an elegy to Athens, the city that made me an organiser
If you want something practical right now:
If you prefer video, I do a fortnightly livestream on resistance with Yanis Varoufakis and DiEM25, plus occasional interviews with organisers and activists. I’m also on Instagram, but not that much.
