Re: Southeast Convergence for Climate Action

"There's homelessness, police brutality and murder; massive displacement of low income and working class people"
Say, like what happened after Katrina?

The same government and major corporations that couldn't lift a finger to save the low income and working class people of NOLA is the same goverment and corporations that make billions off of the destruction of ecosystems and the alteration of the climate. These issues are linked and cannot be separated. An ecologist without an understanding of capitalism and how it creates poverty is an idiot reformist who will be betrayed by the system they seek to change. A working class movement without an understanding of ecology is doomed to a desert or a deluge should it make it past the prisons, police, and profit motive.

To think of evnironmentalism or anti-poverty campaigns as workers versus climate is foolish, an ideal climate is not possible under capitalism and the interests of workers are doomed if capitalists continue destroying our home for profit. Our anger should be directed at a common enemy - the bosses and the state.
