People of color, women, and gays -- who now have greater access to the centers of influence that ever before -- are under pressure to be well-behaved when talking about their struggles. There is an expectation that we can talk about sins but no one must be identified as a sinner: newspapers love to describe words or deeds as "racially charged" even in those cases when it would be more honest to say "racist"; we agree that there is rampant misogyny, but misogynists are nowhere to be found; homophobia is a problem but no one is homophobic. One cumulative effect of this policed language is that when someone dares to point out something as obvious as white privilege, it is seen as unduly provocative.

Last Wednesday, @rsallesmma posted a misleading video, but fortunately we’re here to help him to show the truth about him and Bolsonaro. Watch this video and learn the details where the devil lies. This is both genocide and ecocide. We cannot stay quiet!…

The outright red-tagging, terror-tagging and active silencing of activists in the Philippines is appalling. Activists are simply fighting for the rights of everyone and no one should ever be arrested, harassed, or even killed for speaking up against injustice.…
TW: Graphic Content that talks about Murder and Rape crimes committed by shell In Nigeria
It is 25 years ago this year that the Ogoni 9 were hanged. They were nine climate activists in Ogoniland, Nigeria, who sparked a mass movement against Shell's oil production there. After being tortured in prison, an unfair process followed and they were hanged. Shell's involvement and influence that led to this is obvious, but became crystal clear in court cases that followed. To this day Nigeria is still suffering from massive pollution cause by leaking oil pipelines.

Our sister Sonia Guajajara has been called to testify by the Brazilian Federal Police. This is due to a complaint from the organization in charge of indigenous issues in Brazil, FUNAI, which accuses her of spreading “fake news”, through web-series where they denounce the lack of decisive action by the government in the face of the pandemic, especially regarding indigenous peoples.

Over 1,500 Palestinians from neighborhoods in Jerusalem are facing threat of forced displacement and home demolitions by Israeli authorities. Children make up a large percentage of the families threatened with homelessness.
Recently Israeli courts have ruled in favor of Jewish settlers and given four families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood until May to leave their homes. In the Silwan neighborhoods of Al Bustan and Batin al Hawa, a total of 21 families are facing home demolition as soon as May 11th to make way for an allegedly bible-inspired 'King David Park' tourist site.
This is part of Israel's larger plan of racist colonial expansion throughout East Jerusalem and the West Bank, forcibly displacing Palestinian families from their land and homes and replacing them with illegal Israeli settlements.
Two of the primary settler organizations driving these evictions, Nahalat Shimon International and Ateret Cohanim, respectively are registered and have tax-deductible charity status in the United States, from where they receive the majority of their funding.
“What we are witnessing in Sheikh Jarrah is Israel's attempt to erase the Palestinian presence from our native city in real time,” says Mohammed El-Kurd, whose family is among those set to be forcefully evicted in May. “This fate of dispossession looms over much of my neighborhood. Our lives are consumed by the anxiety of living on the brink of homelessness.”
Take action: call on the U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to demand an end to Israel illegal evictions of Palestinians and demolitions of their homes.

When we are fighting for climate justice, we are fighting for social justice, equality, etc as it is built from a system full of injustices . This is also the Palestinian struggle, people are losing homes, children killed, it is a humanitarian crisis check out this resource to know more how the Palestinian struggle also ties in climate justice https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/opinions/2019/11/28/palestine-is-a-climate-justice-issue
