What is the 1% and what it has to do with our narrative #PeopleNotProfit 🧵🔥
the 1% refers to porcentage the richest people ON THE WORLD+
Carbon emissions of the richest 1 percent more than double the emissions of the poorest half of humanity.
The 20 richest billionaires are estimated, on average, to be emitting as much as 8,000 times more carbon than the billion poorest people.
Just 100 companies have been responsible for 71% of global emissions since 1988.
Global North is responsible for 92% of emissions
For this and much more is important to think about that climate struggle is a CLASS struggle
their profit is OUR dead, the 1% is responsble of extractivism and territory displacement of indigenous comunities and they HAVE to give the MAPA people reparations also+
and for reparation I dont mean charity I mean landback for example and that they stop killing people and exploting the planet+
PEOPLE NOT PROFIT
PEOPLE NOT PROFIT
PEOPLE NOT PROFIT
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+
A LOT OF EUROPE'S AND GLOBAL NORTH CLIMATE MOVEMENT IS
RACIST and COLONIALIST
That is why we need to talk about INTERSECCIONALITY✨ 🧵
Intersectionality essentially, looks at how a person's various cultural,political,and social identities(such as gender identity,sexual or romantic orientation,racial identity, nationality, religion,disability, and more) intersect and create systems of discrimination, or privilege
When we talk about Climate Crisis we cannot ignore its social dimension, because that is where the effects of this Crisis become complex and diverse. It is necessary to consider that although it is a global emergency, it impacts different social groups on different scales. +
