Power wrote the story. They chose to rewrite it.
Across the world, the most entrenched power structures — from authoritarian rule to patriarchal violence and unchecked AI development — think they are writing our stories.
The 2026 Right Livelihood Laureates have decided to write their own, taking collective action to create a liveable future for all.
Join us in Stockholm on December 1, or watch the livestream right here on the day!
