DAY 4 - Extinction Rebellion Cambridge LIVE Climate Justice is Migrant Justice

LIVE from the Nelson Mandela statue in London 🇬🇧 as the Global Justice Rebellion marches to the Home Office to say: Climate Justice is Migrant Justice
*
⛓️ Upon arrival to the at the #HomeOffice activists have chained themselves to entrance. #GlobalJusticeIsMigrantJustice
*
✊ We stand in solidarity with those forced to leave their homes, and those made to suffer in the Global North's migration system as we speak. #MovementOfMovements #Solidarity #AnotherWorldIsPossible
*
🔥 This action features speeches and poets showing solidarity for the many issues migrants face.
*
📢 And here's a message from the #GlobalJusticeRebellion:
*
😭 Right now many people in the Majority of the World — also known as the Global South — are being forced to leave their homes by a climate and ecological crisis overwhelmingly caused by wealthier nations. #ClimateJustice
*
☠️ Instead of getting to grips with this reality, we are seeing the militarisation of borders alongside rabid and racist rhetoric towards migrants and refugees. #MIgrantJustice
*
🗣️ We will hear from a range of speakers, and take part in interactive games, organised by Global Justice Rebellion in partnership with several XR and non-XR groups.
*
😷 *This is a socially distanced protest! Please wear a mask and keep a safe distance from each other*
*
⌛ The climate and ecological crisis is not a thing of the future, but one which is happening right now. Even throughout the course of human history, climate and (the lack of) resources has prompted the majority of all mass movements of people. This is a reality which we as a global society, and particularly the nations of the Global North, have to get to grips with, with the utmost urgency. What we are witnessing instead, however, is an increasing militarisation of borders, as well as the proliferation of an increasingly rabid and racist rhetoric towards migrants and refugees.
*
👂 We will hear from a range of speakers (including those who have and are suffering under the immigration system here in the UK), and experience performances. There will be the opportunity to learn more about the UK's hostile environment policy, and the links between migrants rights and climate justice. There will also be the opportunity to play interactive games meant for activists of any age!
