Global Noise kicks off tomorrow in Australia, with people all over the country making noise, demanding to be heard.
Global Noise is about making ourselves heard. In a democracy, the government should be by the people and for the people.
The reality is that we are asked to cast a vote once every three years, watch our elected representatives change all their policies and just shut up. The world is facing a great variety of issues that perpetuate conflict, poverty and political apathy.
We must identify those issues and propose alternatives. I think the three main areas that need to be addressed are democracy, economics and rights.
