-
- Society & Culture
How do you organize when mere existence can be resistance? This is the powerful anonymous testimony of a climate justice activist from Kenya on what it’s like to campaign publicly for climate justice while having to keep her queer identity private for her own safety and security. This is a story about what it means to organize in contested spaces, and it’s one that mirrors the experiences of many other LGBQTI+ activists and marginalized communities around the world. It’s a reminder of why, every single day, we must collectively organize to fight systems of oppression wherever we find them, and in whatever form.
