#stateviolence

This September, activists from around the globe will be descending upon New York City to demand for real solutions to the worsening global climate crisis. Most will come from the Global South, where plunder and large-scale, multinational extractive industries have not only ruined the environment, but people’s livelihood and security as well.

At the same time, in North, there is a growing cry from communities across the US for justice in response to more and more Black lives being taken by state-sponsored violence, in particular with of the events unfolding in Ferguson, Missouri.

But the ecological crisis and human rights crisis are not disparate phenomenons, even though the US and other state governments would like us to believe so. Both have their roots in the destructive nature of the global economy based on super-profits, war, militarization, and plunder.

Why should climate justice activists unite with human rights activists, particularly anti-police brutality and anti-racism activists? What links our struggles? And how can we work together in a movement that will hold the crises-makers accountable and allow us to take justice?

Come to this important talk at our office on Friday!
