In voices, such as Tonny are so important. We are not allowed to leave the workup of a racist pattern, but the Black and PoC, but will have to consider which roles we take on.“
“ripens So slowly the realization”
Fridays, for the Future, now wants to take action against the Problem. “Now we begin to talk about racism within the movement, to reflect on our own behaviour”, says the activist Line Niedeggen to watson.
You have about supporting the current protests against racism and police violence. “Some local groups doing Anti-racism Workshops, or read together, for example, the book ‘Exit Racism’ of Tupoka Ogette. Slowly the insight that the roots of the climate crisis are not so closely linked to racism, sexism, classism, and all the global injustices that it is not enough to talk about emissions Matures.“

In addition to the discussion of racist Exclusions, there is also an ongoing debate about class as exclusion logic.“
