Hello Regina Cabrera but you can call me Re 🌻 (@re_cabrerab) pronouns she they
I am an antirracist and antipatriarcal climate activist, for México (@fffmex) ✨and today I will be taking over this account explaining a little bit of our narrative #PeopleNotProfit
✨🧵Here I will be putting all the threads that I make today 🧵✨
thank you everyone for sharing and listening any doubt you can contact me @re_cabrerab and follow my local group @fffmex 🌻✨ lets make this movement better and destroy this opresive system
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.
Now lets talk about white and performative activism :) 🧵✨
hi I'm @re_cabrerab still taking over the account 💖 performative activism is the one that is done to increase one's social capital rather than because devotion to a cause.
and white activism is the one that looks not to uproot and destroy the opresive system but to """reform""" it,because it gives them the privilege that they have, this type of activism does not question or deconstruct ANTYTHING (basically is useless lol)
For all those racist "activist" (belive there are alot) lets talk about how THERE IS NOT CLIMATE JUSTICE WITHOUT RACIAL JUSTICE 🧵✨
still @re_cabrerab here and as a woman of color I have suffer racism inside this movement so is time to talk a little bit of this ✨
We are a society that has been structured from top to bottom by race, where white people have obvious privilege and have been responsible for the oppression suffered by BIPOC+
Destroy de patriarchy not the planet, lets talk about how climate justice has to include gender justice 🧵✨
@re_cabrerab still here lets start!💜✨
Women are more vulnerable to the consequences of the climate crisis, not only because they represent the majority of global poverty, but also because we are statistically more dependent on currently threatened natural resources+
Women are the first to die from floods, drought and food insecurity in general. It is important to emphasize that the current climate crisis is caused by our unsustainable, unequal, and sexist economic system+
