Event Details
ResPublica is delighted to host an evening speech by Damian Green MP, on the topic ‘Poor people need civil liberties too’ at the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA).
Damian Green MP, whose own civil liberties were breached in the circumstances surrounding his high-profile arrest, will argue that civil liberties are not a luxury for the middle classes, but one of the essentials of a good life which the poor are denied. The state tries to provide them with money, advice and guidance while also interfering in every area of their personal life “for their own good”. Instead we should give them the space and freedom the middle class demand for themselves, and encourage them to take more control over their own lives and their local environment. This is the only long-term way to build civil society in disadvantaged communities. It is a modern Conservative solution, making the state smaller and society bigger.
He will be introduced by Phillip Blond, Director of ResPublica, who will also announce the commencement of a major body of ResPublica research called 'Liberty and Innovation,' which will explore the way that our fundamental and ancient freedoms have been curtailed by the breakdown of association in our nation today and the rise of a state culture of intrusion and surveillance. It will seek to define which social groups have lost out the most as a result - and will moreover suggest how we can use insights from social capital theory and reward technological innovation to help augment and re-establish our society and its freedoms for all.

ResPublica
ResPublica is an independent, non-partisan UK think tank founded by Phillip Blond in November 2009. In July 2011, the ResPublica Trust was established as a not-for-profit entity which oversees all of ResPublica's domestic work. We focus on developing practical solutions to enduring socio-economic and cultural problems of our time, such as poverty, asset inequality, family and social breakdown, and environmental degradation.
We have had demonstrable success with innovative research that has been seen to make an impact on the policy landscape. Our reports have received widespread acclaim from policy-makers and practitioners, the media, and politicians from both sides of the political spectrum. We regularly host events and discussion forums that facilitate debate and extend our outreach. ResPublica is also a membership organisation, offering personal membership packages as a means for interested and like-minded individuals to engage with ResPublica in a way that is tailored to their own interests.
