We stand with the Palestinian people against settler-colonization. We stand against all forms of colonialism and systematic repression by militaries and institutions.
A thread:
To be clear, in response to some feedback we've received from previously shared posts, we stand against antisemitism and all forms of discrimination.
We know that in certain countries the BDS movement may have been co-opted or taken away from its intended purpose.
But as we are based in many countries across the world, we primarily listen to the colonized and oppressed people (in this case, Palestinians especially) on the non-violent civil disobedience actions that they are calling on the rest of the world to do.
It is important to us as a group with a sizeable platform that we extend our voice and amplify calls for support & help worldwide,
especially since we are operating in a Global North country that is complicit in the Palestinian struggle. We wanted to discuss why we need to talk about it, as a climate justice group, and as people.
Solidarity and community are important tools in our mission, and today we are standing in solidarity with #SheikhJarrah and #FreePalestine movement. This struggle is complex. Still, there are so many facets of the colonial system that is built to suppress Palestnians.
Incarceration, the ID system and restriction to Al-Aqsa mosque are all things we need to learn and understand, and then fight. This is not a definite resource, but it is a statement as to why we are taking a stand.
@climatestrikecanada will be using their platform over the next few days to amplify the voices of Palestinian youth activists, honouring the lives of those who have been lost, and sharing action items.
Please continue educating yourselves on the issue using credible sources, and act by means that are accessible to you.
○ #MohammadIsaZehi was a 23-year-old arrested Baloch protester who was executed by the Islamic Republic this morning in Zahedan. #ArefKobdani is another 23-year-old Baloch protester who has been sentenced to death. Aref’s life is in immediate danger.

○ #Baloch people make up about 5% of Iran’s population but they comprise 30% of those executed. In 2022, at least 129 Baloch people have been executed in Iran. What the Islamic Republic is doing to Baloch people is a genocide.
Be their voice.

Today the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group II has launched a report on impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability. But what is it exactly telling us about climate change? 🧵
Climate change is already killing people, destroying nature, and making the world poorer.
Extreme events like heatwaves, floods, droughts & wildfires are becoming more frequent, intense & long-lasting, harming people, infrastructure, and the natural world.
In specific events this means:
Every part of the world is already being hit. Some areas will become uninhabitable.
Damages will accelerate as warming continues, with poorer places most at risk.
The costs of inaction far exceed those of action, as we will face escalating costs.
As a movement, we stand against war, occupation, and its colonial & imperialist nature. We stand in solidarity with the people in Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine
Now lets talk about extractivism, decolonization and landback 🧵✨
I'm still @re_cabrerab and this is my last thread :(
In the last 500 years, there has been a political, economic and cultural reconfiguration in which Europe took the lead, putting the global south at the bottom, dispossessing BIPOC communities of their territories+
This happened thanks to the creation of racist and patriarchal systems that empowered upper-class cis heterosexual white men.
“Another World is possible, a world where many worlds fit'”
This phrase has its origin in the Zapatista indigenous revolution, but it’s been used many times by activists who reproduce the white supremacism of the European climate movement.
No more. Shut up and listen! 🧵
Is me again(@re_cabrerab) came to tell you what it represents, and to let you know about the last 30 years of revolution in México.
We can’t understand climate justice without understanding revolutionary movements as the Zapatistas and the National Indigenous Congress in México
Indigenous peoples from México have suffered extermination for more than 500 years. With neoliberalism, dispossession was catalyzed even more.
