#climate justice now

[swayerto]

Via @gretathunberg This year we have seen many defining elections all over the world. On November 5th, it is time for one of the most powerful countries in the world – the USA – to go to the polls. It is probably impossible to overestimate the consequences this specific election will have for the world and for the future of humanity.

There is no doubt that one of the candidates – Trump – is way more dangerous than the other. But no matter if Trump or Harris wins, the USA – a country built on stolen land and genocide on indigenous people – will still be an imperialist, hyper-capitalist world power that will ultimately continue to lead the world further into a racist, unequal world with an ever increasingly escalating climate- and environmental emergency.

With this in mind, my main message to Americans is to remember that you cannot only settle for the least worst option. Democracy is not only every four years on election day, but also every hour of every day in between. You cannot think you have done “enough” only by voting, especially when both those candidates have blood on their hands.

Let’s not forget that the genocide in Palestine is happening under the Biden and Harris administration, with American money and complicity. It is not in any way “feminist”,“progressive” or “humanitarian” to bomb innocent children and civilians – it is the opposite, even if it is a woman in charge. And this is of course one example among many of American imperialism. I cannot for my life understand how some can even pretend to talk about humanitarian values, without even questioning their own role in further deepening global oppression and massacres of entire countries.

So, Americans, you must do everything in your power to call out this extreme hypocrisy and the catastrophic consequences American imperialism has on a global scale. Be uncomfortable, fill the streets, block, organise, boycott, occupy, explicitly call out those in power whose actions and inaction lead to death and destruction. Join and support those who are resisting and leading the change. Nothing less will ever be acceptable.

"If we define peaceful protest as designated protest zones that don't cause any public inconvenience we've more or less defined it out of existance.

Past protest movements (civil rights, anti-war, suffrage) were disruptive in a way that modern whitewashing understates."

"Disabilities create multidimensional impacts, and experts agree that the entire disability community is at greater risk of suffering from the negative impacts of climate change. It’s imperative that disabled people have access to education on disaster response, communicating with emergency responders, and self-care at a level that is least restrictive and appropriate. Every disability and experience creates a unique situation, and even well-trained responders will need a way to communicate with individuals about their specific needs. A disabled person is two to four times more likely to die or be critically injured in a climate-related disaster due to lack of access to information, lack of transportation or accessible emergency shelters, and mobility limitations. "

I highly recommend reading essays by Ismatu Gwendolyn. They have so many important insights on revolution and liberation. Their most recent essay is about the role of the artist in revolution. Pls go check out their work and support them!!!

I made posts previously about how modern day Jonathan and Arthur would be Gen Z. And of course, Mina, Lucy, and Quincey would also.

But it just struck me:

Seward would be a millennial.

And as a millennial, that makes me feel somewhat called out by the universe.

⭕️The crimes of the fascist occupation in Tal al-Hawa and the execution of the elderly and children in their homes are horrific violations and despicable acts that demand immediate international accountability.

“When we think about environmental disaster and how we can solve that together, I like to think of it as a form of environmental liberation—which is not all that different than queer liberation, women’s liberation, Black liberation,” Tosca said. “I like to think of the climate crisis as just another thing that’s disproportionately affecting people who are vulnerable, so in order to eliminate that vulnerability, we have to address it the way we would any other liberating movement.”

We go offline for a few days to figure out knitting and awaken to find there's a genocide going on. Cool. We love the state of world events in the year 2023.

I can‘t believe that in 2012 (years before the issue gathered world wide attention) The Penguins Of Madagascar had a more accurate presentation of the problems of climate change and those who denied its existence in order to protect their shady business  practises than most mainstream media outlets.

This was released 11 years ago. Think about that. A show about secret-agent penguins cared more than (most of our) parents did at the time.
