Unless we achieve immediate, drastic, unprecedented, annual emission cuts at the source then that means we’re failing when it comes to this climate crisis. “Small steps in the right direction”, “making some progress” or “winning slowly” equals loosing. #COP26 #UprootTheSystem

What’s wrong with this 🌍 map? Wealthy countries are blocking a proposal that would allow more countries to manufacture & access #COVID19 medical tools. No one is safe until everyone is safe. World leaders must support #TRIPSWaivers now! #NoCovidMonopolies @MSF_access

Dear white parents, Talk to your children about race and racism. They're not too young. Children who are not white are dealing with racism from birth, and their parents are probably talking to them about it as soon as they can speak. Racism is white people's problem.

When it’s about something that's in 10 years’ time, they're more than happy to vote for it because it doesn’t really impact them. But when it’s something that actually has an effect right here right now, they don’t want to touch it. It shows the hypocrisy. theguardian.com/environment/…
