Anshu Gupta: Creating a Parallel Economy with Reused Materials
Founder and Director of GOONJ.org
April 30, 2013, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley
Anshu Gupta, an Ashoka and Schwab Fellow, shared his experiences creating a cultural change - conscious giving, not thoughtless dumping - and how he came to lead one of the world's largest civic participation movements. He is the founder of GOONJ.org, a social enterprise that has created social innovations to address critical gaps in the developing world. Making clothing a matter of concern in the development sector emerged as his life's calling with GOONJ.
Considered one of the leading social enterprises in India, GOONJ, is focused on under resourced areas in development work; whether its clothing for the poor, cloth sanitary pads for women, or school materials for children. The organization is addressing the growing gap between prospering cities and rural villages, by moving resources from the former, who discard it as waste, to the later, for whom it is precious.

GOONJ is one of India's leading NGOs, which recycles urban cloth into valuable resources for the rural poor. Some cloth is recycled into sanitary napkins. The issue of menstruation is often a taboo in India, and is seldom discussed in public. Unfortunately, millions of women suffer from various health problems due to a basic access to sanitary napkins. GOONJ has come up with a much needed ecologically friendly solution that needs to be scaled up throughout the villages of India.

NJPC (Not Just a Piece of Cloth) is focused on opening up the most taboo & ignored subject of menstrual hygiene; a female health hazard by involving the masses in generating an affordable cloth napkin. The NJPC programme is a nationwide intervention, which starts with providing a physical product but stresses more on changing practices, behavior change, education & replication in the long term.
MY Pad, Goonj's clean cloth pad is developed out of old cloth collected from urban masses. It is made with highly indigenous processes while also educating the user women to make it on their own.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
