As a movement, we stand against war, occupation, and its colonial & imperialist nature. We stand in solidarity with the people in Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine
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.
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+
