Saikat Chakrabarti on set for the recording of Tony’'s Chocolloqium
Today marks the grand finale of Tony’s Chocolloquium - our creative collaboration with Tony’s Chocolonely.
“Ten minutes. Two changemakers. One sweet solution.”
In the final episode of this inspiring series, our host Amelia Høy is joined by none other than a political advisor and activist - Saikat Chakrabarti.
Like Tony’'s, Saikat strongly believes that to change the world, you need to tackle the problems, not the symptoms. And to shake the system, he went straight to its heart: politics. Through the Brand New Congress scheme, Saikat helped launch hundreds of progressive candidates into congressional races, including NY representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and initiated the Green New Deal for tackling climate change.
“There’s an argument in - why not try? Because the downsides of why not try are catastrophic, especially with climate change”
Saikat’s wisdom, experience and drive perfectly encapsulate the change making message of the series.
We are honoured to have been a part of this unforgettable project and feel even more inspired to tackle the social problems around us with our own sweet solutions.
Because a fair world needs more than just fair chocolate. Check out the full conversation below and follow @tonyschocolonely to catch up on all the previous episodes of Tony’s Chocolloquium.
