Currently — November 6, 2023: Climate justice advocates join calls for ceasefire in Palestine
The shared struggle for life brought frontline groups together in massive weekend protests around the world.

The weather, currently.
On Saturday, one of the largest global anti-war rallies of the 21st century took place in dozens of cities around the world, with some 300,000 people estimated at the march in Washington, DC.
More than 10,000 civilians have died so far in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Climate justice campaigners marched in solidarity calling for a ceasefire, and drew clear parallels with what’s happening in Gaza to what’s happening all over the world where marginalized people are being forced to bear the brunt of climate chaos.
As environmental justice communities hailing from sacrifice zones across the United States, we are answering the call to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people on the frontlines of genocidal warfare. #CJAOurPower

Climate change is a struggle for freedom and dignity of all living things, on a global scale.
The roots of the climate emergency are a systematic, racist devaluation of Black and Brown lives to justify first-world greed and white supremacy. There can be no climate justice without Palestinian liberation and without the liberation of oppressed peoples around the world.
