WE ARE UBUNTU - RACIAL EQUITY TOOLS FOR CHANGE MAKERS |
Funded by FundAction
|
Change happens when those who serve as agents of transformation understand the foundations of race and racism. Racism was done and it can be undone through effective community, individual and institutional change.
SUPPORTING SYSTEMIC CHANGE:
Countering racism needs determined actions and efforts. The task of dismantling systemic and institutionalised racism requires more than superficial gestures but instead entails assessing, changing, and even eliminating long-standing systems that lead to inequality. Supporting organisations committed to racial social and climate justice and eradicating policies that marginalise BIPOC, are just a few of the widespread changes that must happen. The time has come for the climate change community, social and grassroots movements to recognise and act upon racial injustices.
In Europe, most environmental organizations and grassroots movements are white and middle class. Long-standing racist policies and practices – such as residential segregation, unequal opportunities, and limited prospects for economic advancement – have led to increased vulnerability of BIPOC to climate change impacts, exclusion from circles of decision making and governance in their communities, and by extension other global crises that may emerge, the latest being COVID19.
Many communities of people of colour have been experiencing societal disruption and collapse for decades. They have been resisting and surviving. Through more openness, we could begin to learn more from them and become their allies in figuring out what to do next.
