Time to meet Anjali Beames an 18 year old climate activist, co -coordinator of the Rising Tide caucus for People of Color, interviewed by Nicky Page from Radio Adelaide.
“When People of colour shape what the movement looks like,
it's not also just for the benefit of people of colour,
but for the benefit of all marginalised identities and everyone in general"
Anjali Beames
Hear about her involvement with School Strike for Climate and Rising Tide and the campaign to cancel all new fossil fuel projects in our country and close the coal port of Newcastle.
Understand why:
it’s not cool to go round saying how pleasant it is to work with the police
or how cooperative they are.
That's only your experience and people of colour may have a much more unpleasant one.
