Organizations involved with the issue of protection of public goods, social security, affordable housing, access to utility services, environmental justice, collectives, decentralization of governance and solidarity make the new political power of citizens. In a world that is changing rapidly and in which, despite all technical, scientific and technological advances, the feelings of insecurity, fear, inequality and hatred are increasingly dominating, in which populism and extremism are growing, a trend of different political organization emerges in the wave of civil strife and new political movements, that carries the hope it is not only possible to confront these negative tendencies, but also to fight for the vision of the cities and societies in which we want to live.

Since 2017, when at the invitation of the Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau and the political platform Barcelona En Comu, the first summit of Fearless Cities took place right here, this trend turned into a global municipalist movement where activists, local councilors, Mayors and citizens are working to build a global network of solidarity and hope. A series of meetings and conferences under this name that are held all over the world have the goal of radicalizing democracy in our cities.
