May newsletter round up
Welcome to our monthly round up of climate campaigning news.
‘Climate change need not become the legacy we leave’
There’s no denying that climate change is real. As a part of BBC Ideas, spoken word poet Magero reflects on our personal responsibility to the planet.
'It’s time we heard more from those who will live longest with the climate crisis'
Climate Home News have offered their site for youth climate strikers as a platform to express their ideas. Over the next few months they’ll be hosting content from young activists who have inspired the world.
'The fight for climate justice is the fight of our lives, and we need to do it right.'
Wretched of The Earth (a collective of grassroots indigenous, black and brown organisations representing diaspora from the Global South) recently wrote an open letter to Extinction Rebellion about the importance of intersectionality within the climate change movement.
Mothers rise up
To mark international Mother’s Day, thousands of mums took to the streets in a global march for climate action. They called on governments to confront the climate crisis with bold action before it’s too late!
And finally...
Did anyone else spot the giant Greta Thunberg in Bristol?
