...where will it land?
Wha..?
In a last intervention before the end of her tenure...Well, there's a relief, I guess...
...Achiume said meaningful solutions to the ecological crisis were not possible without tackling racism. But in a bleak assessment of the prospects for the future of humanity, she admitted it was “difficult to imagine” how that message could be made to resonate with people holding power.
Pretty difficult to get it to resonate with me, and I don't hold any...
“You can’t think that you solve the climate crisis and then attend to racial justice or racial discrimination,” Achiume said.
Can you break for lunch first?
“What you have to realise is that every action that is taken in relation to ecological crisis – environmental, climate and otherwise – has racial justice implications, and so every action becomes a site of undoing racial subordination.”
Sure, sure...say, can I borrow that hammer? I've a nail right here I need to fix.
