CITIZENS PLATFORM
"Take our future in our hands!"

Misery and loss were not the only things that the Flood brought with it.

It awakened a numbed people to the meaning of citizenship.
There was no need to call for help. Volunteers young and old – cutting across the rigid boundaries

of class, religion, caste, gender and language – set out in unison to make things better.
It took the worst to bring out the best in people, providing an opportunity to reclaim one’s humanity.

Young people from privileged homes were out on the streets caring for the injured and feeding the hungry in pockets of the city that they would otherwise never have visited. Fish workers and village youth risked their lives to rescue the occupants caught in cars that were washed away or those marooned in swanky apartment blocks. Unmet needs were met: sending a clear message of solidarity. And many were the instances where human beings extended themselves for animals.
Indeed, the Flood had triggered a new sense of collective consciousness among the people.

This truly calls for a celebration of the spontaneous flowering of the human potential,

to commemorate the spirit of community
and to launch a Citizens Platform to Take our Future in Our Hands.
Let us meet to share what happened, discover why it did and how we can work together
to ensure a more secure world for ourselves, our children and future generations.

On 27th December 2015: 10 am onwards
