TELL THE TRUTH
In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

The climate and ecological crisis is already with us.
We need immediate action to avoid unspeakable human suffering and irreversible damage to the natural world.

We demand an end to the persecution of those who protect our rivers, forests, and moorlands, and those who defend the most impoverished sectors of society. The State must guarantee the integrity of indigenous, social, and environmental defenders.

In Ecuador, the defense of social rights and nature cannot be silenced with repression. We raise our voices to say No to the criminalization of social protest!

In #Ecuador, the defense of social rights and nature cannot be silenced with repression.
No to the criminalization of social protest!
The demands of a people fighting for a just future and respect for Pachamama must be heard.
Silencing voices is an attack on life itself!

Ante un mundo en llamas sostenido por la concentración de riqueza, la exacerbación de las desigualdades y la destrucción de nuestro entorno, donde parece que el único camino posible es entregarse al completo a la idea del sálvese quien pueda (spoiler: ese quien pueda no somos la mayoría)...

Global Tipping Points.

2️⃣ Take action.

Screenshot from Global Tipping Points.

Harmful tipping points in the natural world threaten humanity by disrupting life support systems and societal stability. The effects of tipping points will be transmitted and amplified throughout our globalised world. To mitigate these risks, we should focus on positive tipping points—opportunities where beneficial changes become self-sustaining. History shows rapid societal shifts are possible.

💚 A massive thank you to the ART FACTORY. They created so much, not only for XR, but for others in the ecology of movements too.

Their generosity, skills and #imagination helped others too - they were always willing to reach out, helping many groups to achieve #socialchange.

In a context of economic, political, ecological, and social crisis, we refuse to remain silent in the face of the violence that surrounds us. In response, #XRWarmi in #Bolivia decided to act through collective learning, through art, prioritizing self-care and feminist self-defense.

Silencing scientists who sound the alarm won’t stop glaciers from melting, droughts from deepening, or crops from failing. That’s not controversial: it’s physics.
