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.

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.

💚As an individual we hold so much power.
As a collective we are even stronger.

Think about who benefits from keeping us isolated and silent.

In times of atrocity, destruction and genocide, the courage to act to disrupt, to resist, to disobey is a right and moral responsibility to many.

🌍🔥 When fascists lie, truth dies – and we must act.

Donald Trump stood before the UN – in front of the entire world – and rambled about the climate crisis as if it didn’t exist. A speech of pure denial, at a time when the planet is burning, seas are rising, and people are losing their homes.
