For the past 4 years I’ve given my social media every Sunday to students who are passionate about the environment to talk about carbon pricing. I’d like to continue this work while putting a stronger emphasis on intersectional environmentalism + I am now turning my Sunday feed over to conversations surrounding education on racial advocacy +sustainability from youth leaders in the sustainability space. 🌎 "Many residents of my city, Salem, MA, will find my anger inconvenient right up until another George Floyd dies. They are waiting for a Black body to drop in our community as proof that it is time to organize, to come out against our oppressive policing system. I don't have that privilege. People with skin like mine have been robbed of their human rights and resources, by a centuries-old system of colonialist, extractivist, racist ideas. As a Black organizer, my pain has runs deep. My home state's willingness to confront its complex history of oppression has drastically decreased since George Floyd's death. MA was one of the first 13 colonies to massacre Indigenous communities, enslave Black Africans, and build an entire economy on their backs. Any who see the Civil War as an exoneration from this history, ignore how Boston red-lined and gentrified. They ignore how Black and immigrant communities were segregated from the large white-pickett houses and expensive condos tucked away in hills and quiet streets, and instead corralled into cramped, over-policied, “ghetto,” “dangerous,” neighborhoods. MA's white communities must see themselves for what they are, deeply entrenched in the history of white supremacy and erasure of its Black and Indigenous people of color. Our demands of abolition seem less radical from that point of view. Of course, we deserve a restorative justice movement that replaces racist carceral and policing system with beautiful, green, safe communities. Of course, I am angry. Being Black and African, especially in this moment, means I don't have the privilege to forget. Because when they die, I die, we all die.”」8月31日 1時50分
