HOW CAN YOU HELP?

JOIN THE 'JUST TRANSITION' SOCIAL JUSTICE GROUP


"We demand a just transition that prioritises social justice; establishes reparations and remediation led by and for Black people, people of colour, minority, poor and vulnerable communities for decades of environmental injustice, establishes legal rights for ecosystems to thrive and regenerate, and repair the effects of ongoing ecocide in order to maintain a liveable, just planet for all."

What will our work look like?
  • Platform and highlight minority voices within our movement
  • Be both an action and strategy group and work proactively to decolonise XR
  • Plan and enable discussions around Demand Zero
  • Place social justice at the heart of climate justice
 
What do we wish to achieve?
  • To facilitate the transformation of the work of Extinction Rebellion Norwich to align with the values of radical inclusivity, intersectionality and decolonisation
  • Create workshop / training programme on antiracism and oppression
  • Work with other XR groups to form connections and link common struggles
  • Decolonise our media and messaging, and ensure that voices from marginalised groups are heard
  • Create a unified message that stretches across our movement so that equality and justice become woven into the fabric of XR
  • More accessibility to more people: crossing cultural barriers, inviting those of vulnerable communities into circles and gatherings so new ideas/ processes are shared and barriers are broken down
  • Consistent/unified message.  Group evaluates media messaging through a decolonial lens. Generating content/amplifying voices
  • Platforming people of colour, through facilitation roles & within vocal roles in particular.
  • Decolonising ourselves, frequently share resources on decolonising: podcasts, books.
