What a pleasure to be on this panel on “Climate Justice” at COP25 in Madrid, Spain.

I discussed how racism, colonialism, empire, white privilege, sexuality, ableism, classism all intersect and influence climate change.

I am inspired by those on the panel to share how #intersectionality can be used to address and demand for #climatejustice during this pivotal moment in time. #COP25 #WCC
