PEOPLES RISING FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE! Last Saturday, we join the global day of action from inside the blue zone in
#COP27
Where there is oppression and repression, there you can find the strongest voices of resistance.

Arrested?? Without?? A?? Warrant???? For?? Leaving?? The?? House???
HOW IS THIS NOT MARTIAL LAW??? HOW IS THIS YOUR MAIN SOLUTION FOR A HEALTH CRISIS!!!!!!
The Department of Justice made it clear that if you are found outside your house and you are not among the narrow exemptions of the
#LuzonLockdown
, then you can be arrested even without a warrant.

1. Para mamaintain yung 0% injury reports nila, pag may nainjure na worker TATANGGALIN KA NILA
2. Sobrang nipis ng gloves and sobrang palpak ng safety equipment na ginagamit nila para sa boiling hot products! + kinakaltas pa to sa sweldo nila! Na 380/day
Filipinos do not deserve to wade through floods & be stranded on rooftops. We do not deserve to see entire communities swallowed whole. No one does. These storms are not “natural” disasters. They are caused by the fossil fuel industry & the profit-oriented global system.
The Philippines is so vulnerable to the climate crisis, yet our CO2 contributions are so minimal. EU & US are the largest contributors to the crisis & your inaction is directly affecting us in the global south. We're not just fighting for our future. We're fighting for our today.
When you see this, remember who is at fault. Demand accountability & reparations. Thread:
1. US, EU - historically the largest co2 emitters, China - currently the largest emitter – their greediness not only leads to high carbon emissions but also the plunder of our lands

Mom proposed to the school where she works that the buwan ng wika theme should be "Kalayaan ng Pilipino" (pero di inapprove)
So instead she'll have her pre-school students dance to the song ibong pipit & she'll explain after that the bird symbolizes the EJK victims

The revolution will not be led by us privileged people. We won't be the ones to end imperialism or capitalism or colonialism or racism. This revolution is being led actively by the most marginalized sectors of society — our workers and peasants and others who are exploited.

LITERALLY THROWING MONEY INTO THE OCEAN FOR NOTHING + the environmental repercussions of mining the dolomite!! grr
This isn't how you rehabilitate Manila Bay. You do that by stopping the reclamation projects destroying the ecosystems, corals, mangroves, & displacing fisherfolk!
ANOTHER DOLOMITE DOSE
LOOK: Heavy vehicles dump fresh dolomite at the "Dolomite Beach" along Roxas Boulevard in Manila on Tuesday, April 13. The artificial white sand beach is part of a P389 million-peso project of the gov't to rehabilitate Manila Bay. 📷 Grig C. Montegrande/PDI

We must be very careful with our messaging to make sure that we don't add to the narrative that it's "scarier" that privileged people are the ones who are unsafe.
Be concrete and clear with our narrative: climate justice means NO ONE is left behind, especially the marginalized.
lots of enviros saying ‘no place is safe’ in face of floods in Europe. It’s true no place is safe from climate violence but white folks are way safer than those in India, Uganda & global South who are denied resources. That’s reality of climate injustice.

The report coming out will make all the consequences even clearer, but it will only tell us what we already know: the climate crisis is here and because of the willful ignorance and greed of world leaders, it's getting worse.
climate education that's empowering and contextualized to the community is one crucial step in ensuring active citizen participation and creating genuinely resilient communities. it's important that this education not only listens to the science, but also to the people ✨
I've said it before& I'll say it again. I will always stand by people being systematically oppressed. I stand with the Palestinians & their calls for liberation. If you're afraid of saying that, question your privilege. I am against all forms of systemic violence & discrimination
This Global Climate Strike the youth with urban poor & coastal communities united to declare that the climate crisis is not just an environmental issue. It is a systemic problem that stems from the imperialist plunder of our land & the greed of the Global North!
#UprootTheSystem
theory without practice is useless — you can read, retweet or quote radical theory as much as you want but if you don't put it into practice whenever you can then it's not gonna change anything.
(but also, practice without theory is difficult and exhausting and unguided)
A reminder this graduation season [a thread]:
This graduation season, we have to remember that we still have a long way to go to achieve free and quality education. Out of 100 pupils that enter grade 1, only 42 will graduate high school.
3. Exposed yung workers sa harmful chemicals everyday tapos di nakaka tulong yung mask nila (na kinaltas sa sahod nila!!)
4. Di binibigay sa kanila ang ot pay tapos 12-16 hours pa sila nag tratrabaho
5. Walang leaves!!! Sick leave, etc
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? All of this could have been avoided. If only, our national government prioritized disaster RESILIENCE, if only PAGASA and other social services had a higher budget instead of funding "counter-terrorism" used to silence activists. IF ONLY fossil fuel...
WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO SWIM WITH US FUCKING HELL. You begged for emergency powers yet don't use them during an actual emergency. We're asking for action from the national government, stop leaving the citizens and the local government units to fend for themselves.

! Do you think we could get one of these tabs for news and science about the climate crisis? We have one for the Olympics since it's relevant right now, and I can't imagine anything more important, urgent, and relevant than the climate crisis🙂
Reminder to everyone: calls to boycott will always be FOR THE WORKERS wag sila ang awayin!!!!!! It's not their fault na they're working there!!!!
HINDI TREND ANG BOYCOTT CALLS! Nag boboycott kasi nirerecognize yung need for it kasi yung mismong workers na ang nagcacall for it
We've seen how Duterte responded to the COVID-19 pandemic & to the climate emergency impacting the Philippines. We deserve better. We need leaders who will put the people and planet over profit. Duterte is not capable of handling any type of crisis.

Ang sakit sa puso. Nakakagalit. Our current system will never priotitize the lives and needs of the majority, but the interests of the rich and few. This system is rotting and needs to be changed.
Kuha ito ni Jang Hernandez sa FB. Nakakadurog ng puso. Ganito ba dapat ang pagtrato sa mga maralitang manininda? Disenteng trabaho ‘yan. Tapos magtataka tayo kung bakit may mga taong pinili na lang na maging kriminal para lang may makain. Hindi dapat ganyan.
Let me be clear: capitalism will always be built on exploitation. The ruling class' fixation on everlasting growth, capital accumulation, and profit will always lead it to eliminate competition locally and internationally. (1/2)

My mom used to be apathetic about politics then when I asked permission if I could go to the Sept 21 rally, she said she'd go with me. Now, she's in the process of learning more about issues & she said she's proud that I care about the country and that makes her want to fight too

Cut the bullshit. We have been pushed into the floods & each day that global north leaders continue with their empty promises, each day that they refuse to phase out the fossil fuel industry, is another stone tied to our bodies, dragging us down to drown.

The climate crisis is here & has been for a long time.
Now we're seeing it in countries historically responsible, but those impacted aren't the ones most responsible.
Don't let those most responsible – the world leaders, polluters, the richest 1%, find a way to keep ignoring us
At least 42 people in Germany have died after floods caused by record rains. Homes were swept away or collapsed, and dozens were reported missing.
Officials linked the unusual extreme weather to the climate crisis: A weather service says about 2 months of rain fell in 1-2 days.
"Love is what wins revolutions." I say this a lot but some might be misinterpreting love as this happy, fluffy, sparkly emotion. So let me make myself clearer. ✨💕 Thread 🧵
We're going back to how we were at the start of the pandemic, but it's not just back to square one, now we have a ton of debt & even more suffering.
Where did the money go Duterte? Where is the science-based immediate action to address the COVID-19 pandemic?
#DuterteResign
Yesterday, was the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement. So far, only 19/175 submitted revised NDCs. At our current rate, our carbon budget for 1.5 degrees will run out in around 7 years.
We can't keep focusing on far off targets and waving Net Zero like it's a magic wand

Hi Mitzi. DENR Bulacan tog w/ MENRO of LGU-Bulacan town have already verified the alleged mangrove cutting. It was found out that only trimming was conducted to give way for the aerial survey. Rest assured that DENR Reg3 is doing its best to safeguard our environment. Thanks!

8. (cont) sa trabaho dahil daw part ng union!! Mga 80 yung nawalan ng trabaho

"In 2009, when I was 12 years old, world leaders gathered in Copenhagen for COP15. They made a pledge to allocate $100bn per year in climate finance for Global South countries by 2020 so that they could address the effects of the climate crisis.
